The Filigree Mary Jane has to be my favorite shoe Alloy is offering at the moment. I am obsessed with ankle straps. Especially if I wear a dress or skirt! I feel like a shoe with an ankle strap gives the overall look a bit of extra class. The black patent leather is perfect! Perhaps that will be my own little Christmas gift to myself.

This pair is named Fem Heel. I must say I instantly fell in love with these shoes because they are pretty unique (to me, at least). They have a pretty sturdy heel (come on, you know you’ve almost fell down a time or two while wearing some insane heels after having a few drinks!) without looking too ‘chunky’ so that makes me think they would be rather easy to maneuver in. Plus…the double strap is extremely cute!

I love these wedges! The pattern on the bottom would add a bit of pizazz to an all black outfit. Which is pretty much my standard uniform.. and those shoes would look great with this handbag. Wedges are by far my favorite shoes to wear out on the town. They give short girls like me (hello, 5′4) the extra height without having to compromise on comfort.

Which brings me to my next piece of advice. If you have some insanely hot but insanely uncomfortable shoes that you have been dying to wear but are afraid of how your feet will feel a few hours into the night… check out the shoe aisle at Target. They have several shoe inserts for all of the different types of womens shoes.

I don’t normally shop at Alloy but these three pairs of shoes need to be in my closet. Since Alloy is pretty affordable there is a good chance that they just might end up there.
