How to Style: Mixed Media Sandals

Happy Friday to you all! This weekend in the Chicagoland area is supposed to be very beautiful weather wise, so I definitely wanted to focus on an essential piece for the summer: sandals. While sandals come in a variety of styles, I wanted to hone in on a mixed media style with a chunky heel, such as the ones pictured below. These sandals are very unique and still gives you a bit of height, while allowing you to wear them all day long without a problem. Below are my tips for how you can style a pair of these cool-girl heels:

1. Pair them with a fitted dress. A fitted dress and these sandals look great for any summertime date night, while being an edgier update to classic pumps.

2. Try these sandals with your work wardrobe. If your office allows sandals, then these are a great addition to your dress pants, pencil skirts, and shift dresses, especially when incorporated with prints.

3. Go for a cool-girl look entirely by pairing them with edgy garments. For example, add these to an ensemble consisting of joggers and a sequin tee for a look that's interesting, cool, and eyecatching.

4. Make them chic and modern when you add them to an all black and white ensemble. Wear them with white jeans and a leather tee or a black and white printed dress for a fresh take on these shoes.
