How often do you see a dove grey wedge? Now, how often do you see a dove grey wedge in raffia with an ankle strap, peep toe, and 5 ¼ wooden wedge heel? I love these with everything from a pencil skirt to skinny jeans or a maxi dress. This is typical of espadrilles from Bluefly.com.It’s the perfect vacation shoe because it fills in for so many other pairs you don’t need to bring.

A great little pair of patent wedges with a 1.5 inch heel. That’s small enough to get comfort and high enough to get compliments. I love the juxtaposition of patent leather and cork. Fabulous with jeans and just as cool with a pencil skirt or summer dress.
