Years ago, you would've found me wearing heels more often than flats. Being petite and collecting many pairs of easy-to-walk-in platforms contributed to my love of height-boosting footwear. Fast forward to last summer, and my opinion on heels has taken a turn. When I'm on the go, sometimes I don't want to be bothered by issues with pain, blisters, or shoes that slow me down. So my heels and platforms are playing a smaller role in my wardrobe, especially since I bought a pair of Birkenstock Arizona sandals. The way they mold to your feet and provide arch support has turned me into a footbed sandal fanatic. Now I'm on my third pair, and I don't hesitate to reach for flat sandals on many a warm day (like this). I enjoy pairing them with more dressed-up wardrobe staples such as floral day dresses, crochet-trimmed rompers, and lace pencil skirts for a laid-back/dressy contrast. Add a cute pedicure and you're good to go!
