5 Pairs of Summer Wedges to Rock Out!!!

This season, I have to say I am pretty much loving wedges and espadrilles of all kinds and colors! Long gone are the days of teetering atop tiny stilettos for me ( or, at least until the Fall rolls around again ;). These shoes are all about leisure, comfort and style - and what shoe encompasses that better than the espadrille? The great thing about them is that you never ever have to sacrifice height for comfort. Plus, with so many styles to choose from, you'll always be right on the fashion pulse! Here are a few hot styles to add to your closet at a fraction of the price!

1.) Mossimo Pilar Strappy Wedge Sandals - Target ($29.99)


If you can't shell out the money for the more expensive Dolce Vita version of this shoe, fear not! Target's interpretation is uncanny and are much more affordable! Why sacrifice price for style when you don't have to? They also come in black.

2.) Leopard Bow Espadrille Wedge - Charlotte Russe ($30)

This fun shoe is the perfect way to introduce the leopard print trend into your wardrobe if a huge commitment isn't your thing! Plus they're so versatile that they can be worn with a casual sundress or a classic LBD for a more dressed up evening look.

3.) Yacht Bow Espadrille High Wedge - Payless ($14.99 on Sale)

You don't have to sail the high seas to rock out this season's nautical trend! At this price you can't afford not to get them!

4.) A.N.A. "Loretta" Sandals - JCPenney ($39.99 on Sale)

This style of espadrille is a fave of celebs, and why not with its sleek straps and woven details! People's Style Mag even labeled these as a Summer Must-Have! They also come in tan and black!

5.) Soda Quota Natural Knotty Bow Espadrille Wedges - Lulu's ($31)

This adorable eyelet wedge is both dainty and delicate. They're neutral enough to pair with a variety of things and can even add a girly touch to a pair of cut offs when you want some height.
