I know it’s only August, but the dog days of Summer are numbered (at least here in the Pacific Northwest!) and cool September evenings will be upon us before we know it!   Sure, there’s still time to enjoy your well-worn, favorite sandals and show off your pedicure.  But, with so many great shoe sales going on and fairly good size availability, now is a great time to think about shoes that will transition from Summer to Fall while keeping your feet comfortably warm as cooler weather arrives.

There are a lot of styles that are suitable for making this transition, but t-straps are my favorite style to wear this time of year.  The t-strap designs give the appearance of lengthening the leg and are very versatile.  They can be worn with anything from dresses and skirts to pants and leggings.  T-strap pumps with open toes look fantastic with opaque tights.  Try pairing opaque tights with patent leather pumps for a polished look that will easily take you from daytime to evening.

Here are a few t-strap pumps to consider.

Pour La Victoire Claudette Pump Available in tortoise or emerald patent leather.

Butter Betty T-Strap Pump Available in black, nude, or cognac suede/smooth leather.

Coclico Odalisk Pump Available in black or gray leather.

Mike & Chris Irwin Waxy Calfskin T-Strap Pump Available in latte or concrete leather.

As you can see, t-strap pumps can be chunky like the Faryl Robin Venus pumps or they can be sleeker in design like the Pour La Victoire Claudette. Either way, t-strap designs generally give good coverage to keep your feet warm on chilly evenings or whenever that cold North Wind blows!
