1. Plaited Cayenne Sandals

Price: $188.00 at anthropologie.com
These are a strappy, modern, spicy take on the gladiator sandal, with skinny straps galore in vivid cayenne red suede with a back zip and slight wedge heel. Pair with cuffed linen shorts or skinny jeans and a tunic.

2. Via Cardorna Wedges

Price: $198.00 at anthropologie.com
Wedges in sweet soft sage, statuesque and feminine, with a back zip and nearly four-inch suede-covered heel. What more could a girl ask for? Perhaps a floral-print summer sundress to wear with them, and a cropped blazer?

3. Tancarville Heels

Price: $298.00 at anthropologie.com
These strappy heels are the best of strappy sandals, sensible heels, and sassy ankle booties all in one, with an almond-shaped toe, back zip, wooden stacked heel, and sexy strappy upper. Pair with a long skirt or skinny jeans and a sequined tunic.

4. Bands & Buckles Flats

Price: $128.00 at anthropologie.com
These adorable flats by Lucky Penny are just the thing to add sass to a weekday chinos ensemble or to wear with a spring-time sundress. They’re made of soft leather and feature three criss-crossing straps with adjustable buckles for a perfect fit.

5. Wet Cement Sling-backs

Price: $178.00 at anthropologie.com
One look at these pretty sling-backs and you’ll see how they got their apt name, for they are indeed the soft color of fresh cement, a cool neutral grey. I love the swish and swoop of the straps, and the sensible low wood-look heel. These would look marvelous with high-waisted trousers and a lavender silk blouse.

6. If Looks Could Booties

Price: $298.00 at anthropologie.com
Oh, there are so many things I love about these pebble texture kitten heels. The sassy snap closure at the ankle, the lace-up detail on the upper, the shiny gold grommets - all of these work together to make a pair of peep-toes I just can’t resist!

7. Strappy Stepper Shoes

Price: $138.00 at anthropologie.com
Gorgeous! This strappy little pair of sandals by Miss Albright feature a stacked heel, straps at the ankle that tie with a tasseled bow, and a brass rivet detail at the toe. Pair with a vintage floral-print shirt-dress or a pair of linen shorts with a cuff at the hem. What a way to welcome spring!

With so many strappy shoes, and so many ways to wear them, it’s no wonder they’re so popular and sought-after this season! I adore those black kitten-heels, and the flats with the criss-cross straps are gorgeous! Which of these strappy little shoes do you like best, and how would you wear them?
