So I'm off to buying a pair of white wedge shoes, and I started to remember the old rule about when you can wear white shoes. Of course Americans use the term Memorial Day and Labor Day, as in not until after Memorial day and never after Labor Day, or some such silly rule. Rules, at least the silly ones, are meant to be broken. White shoes, these days, can be worn whenever you want, even in winter. The problem is that not a lot of shoes are available in winter styles and are a bright white. If you look hard enough, you can find several styles. My personal favorite white wedge shoe is the sandal.

Now why do I choose white when you can only wear it a a few months of the year? Because, when you do wear it, it brightens up an entire outfit. Think about how gorgeous white and black look together. I love wearing the combination of those styles in late summer and fall. I used to have this really fantastic black and white dress with a black patent belt (shhh it was the early 90s!), and this fantastic pair of white wedge pumps. That outfit got so many compliments it was crazy. Now, if you want a really great white wedge, you can choose a full on white or you can find a mix of white with other colors.

NAUGHTY MONKEY Women's Top Notch Wedge $89.99

So I've found my love in life and it is these incredibly gorgeous NAUGHTY MONKEY Women's Top Notch.

They look taller than they feel. The smallish platform on the toe makes them a breeze to walk in. The color is this lovely chocolate (true chocolate, not milk chocolate) color that looks amazing.

What makes these shoes specifically so lovely is the matching heel color. Wedges often have a wood heel that shows, making the shoe a little on the casual side. This shoe, with its covered heel, is gorgeous with suits and dresses alike. Its the yum.

Heel size: 3 3/4 (but the platform is 3/4 too so it makes the heel a doable 3"). The peep toe is really small so you don't have to polish all your toes if you don't want to. haha!

I mostly just love the patent look though, especially next to the white. Fabuloso.

MICHAEL KORS Women's Molly Wedge Naplak $109.64 With Free Shipping 16 % OFF

Someone is bound to look at these shoes and think "borrrrring" when comparing with my other style choices, but everyone needs one good pair of casual white wedge shoes in their closet. Why? Because I said so. No really, because you'll wear them to death.

White goes with everything, and a good pair of white wedge shoes goes with more than everything. If you look at these shoes, can't you see wearing them with a formal outfit to a wedding and just as easily throw them on with a pair of shorts and a t-shirt? That's the point of owning a basic white wedge sandal. And a well made shoe that you wear all the time is a bargain.

Michael Kors shoes are a dream to wear. Comfortable, light, pretty and cushiony, Ferragamo would be proud (you know, the guy that invented the wedge).

The three inch heel is a little high, but still comfortable for all occasions. The ankle strap fits easily around the ankle and isn't uncomfortable like some others I've worn. All in all, a great shoe for the spring and summer (and quite possibly fall =)).

Sofft Women's Addie $62.99

While you need a good basic white wedge sandal, you also need a slip on sandal. These particular styles won't go perfectly with the formal dresses, but they are so comfy and easy to slip on and off, they tend to get worn out the fastest in my closet. It comes with being lazy about putting shoes on.

Sofft makes a lovely style of sandal and I'm lovin every inch of the design. (I know it's corny, but there is the most gorgeous flower pattern on this shoe's sole which I pretty much bought the whole shoe because of). If you're looking for great slip on sandal, this one will do the trick nicely. It's super comfy and doesn't have that icky toe thing that happens when you wear thong sandals.
