FYI: Three pairs of shoes go a long way.
Switching up your look requires less pairs of kicks than you thought. It's time you matched your outfit to your shoes—not the other way around.
Consider white sneakers, ankle strap heels and pointed-toe ankle booties your new way of life (if they aren't already) because with each of them brings endless outfit possibilities.
White sneakers, for example, can take on many personalities. Athleisure is probably its most popular sidekick, but don't let that fool you! They can just as easily show a softer, more feminine side depending on what you pair them with.
