    3. Wedge booties you can pair with jeans or dressier looks alike throughout out the seasons.

    4. A pair of lightweight, mesh-upper casual sneakers that, I'm just warning you now, you may never want to take off once you've slipped 'em on. (You probably shouldn't wear them to bed, though.)

    5. Cozy mid-calf snow boots to keep you comfy the whole day through no matter what the elements have in store.

    6. Open-toe crochet-detail heels that might just become your new dancin' shoes — several reviewers have even rocked them on their wedding day!
