This, Not This: Vol. 24

I did an in-store “This, Not This” in Nordstrom. Shop my picks below!

MESH

Mesh flat: yes.Mesh flat with sparkle: no.P.S. Choose a Mary Jane style for a more modern look.

Style to Shop:

Open Edit Desi Mary Jane $69.95

RAFFIA

I love the texture of raffia. The key is to choose styles that have the material looking more natural, less manufactured.

Steve Madden Excite Ankle Strap Sandal $119.95

WHITE

An all-white sandal should be just that: all-white.

Style to Shop:

Open Edit Linx Slide Sandal $39.95

STRAPPY

A strappy black sandal is a must-have. If you want to get the most bang for your buck, choose a kitten heel. It’s more comfortable and works with denim AND dresses. Tip: opt for a style with an ankle strap; it’s sexier.

If you love a Birkenstock and you’re being tempted by the novelty styles, stick to the original.
