I’m loving this new pair of block heel ballets from Margaux, seen above. I’d been contemplating buying a pair in this silhouette ever since Veronica Beard started styling outfits with their similar Cecile style (select colors on sale there right now!) a few season ago, as I really liked the way they tended to offset kick flare silhouettes with them. (Above, wearing a VB denim vest — look for less here, here — and Mother jeans to channel VB’s styling notes.). You can get the look for less with these (love the red!) or these.
Some additional favorite current shoe styles and silhouettes to contemplate, with an emphasis on pairs appropriate for everyday wear:

I love when you do outfit collage/inspo shots – thank you! Per a Jess Graves rec from years ago, I actually (half cringe to admit?) print out outfit combos, quotes, color palettes, general fashion inspo and hang them on a mini corkboard in my bathroom, swapping things out periodically/seasonally.
I find it forces me out of my usual quick-grab outfit combo ruts and reminds me to compose different layers and color combos in the midst of day to day… I’m much more likely to visualize things as I brush my teeth, towel off, flit in and out, etc. vs. reaching for my phone and navigating to saved pictures or Pinterest. Admittedly, an old school tactile version of things, but I find it provides a delightful visual zhush in between the fracas of the day.
