Campus Kicks: Wedges!

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at U Conn chapter.

 

“Give a girl the right shoes and she can conquer the world.”

-Marilyn Monroe

The warm weather has crept up on us fast! If you’re like me, you probably found yourself scrambling to dig out your flip-flops and sandals from your dorm room last week. You may have noticed your warm weather footwear is a little out of style, so now is the perfect time to give you the campus kicks update for spring!  

Wedges are making a come-back this season with a style for every occasion.  A strap wedge sandal or espadrille wedge is the perfect campus kicks transition into warm weather.  Try pairing your wedges with a fun flirty dress or bold colored cropped jeans.  If you are dressing for a more formal occasion, try a wedge pump or peep toe.  Choose from a tall, chunky wedge to make a statement or a shorter, delicate wedge for a more subtle look.

As a college student, your budget may not allow much spending money to update your campus kicks every season.  Make sure to hunt for deals so you can get the best bang for your buck! Check out stores like Payless Shoe Source, Zappos, DSW, and many others for a wide variety of different styles and prices.  Here are some of my favorites from Payless!

1. Kylie Wedge Pump (Dexter)

2. Jenner Side Bow Wedge (American Eagle)

3. Women’s Mallory Wood Wedge Sandal (Brash)

4. Women’s Miles Espadrille Wedge (American Eagle)

5. Women’s Clarendon Wedge (Lela Rose for Payless)
