Versatile Heels For Spring: Day to Night

It's something every girl hopes to find: the perfect versatile, affordable, and wearable pair of heels. Much like your beloved LBD or go-to skinny jeans, having a grab-and-go shoe option makes putting outfits together a lot easier. In cooler months I tend to stick with the tried-and-true simple black or tan pump, but as Spring approaches I'm ready to show off my lilac pedi. The sleek design and dainty structure of a good single strap sandal heel does just the trick. Not only do they allow for a range of looks from day-professional to night-edgy, but there are so many amazing options out there in fun Spring-Summer colors.

Admittedly, I covet these shoes thanks to the lovely Ashley Madekwe. The day this fashionable gal made her exit from the soapy suspense-driven show Revenge, I quickly took refuge in her blog to continue my obsession with her fashion prowess. She rocks high-tops, grunge boots and trainers to no end, but more often than not she relies on slender Saint Laurent sandals. For a night-out look, pair your favorite pair of strappys with skinny jeans or simply toss on your favorite LBD. If you're wanting a little more edge, add a touch of leather. Seeking a softer look? Pump up any of these styles with a floral or colored heel! This trend is available in so many budget-friendly and designer options, there's sure to be a pair perfect for you. I am personally a fan of Victoria Secret's mid-heel, which is easy on the wallet and great for the office and cocktails after work!

Check out a variety of Spring-friendly looks below for mix-and-match inspiration!

 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

Ready to Glow

Getting fancy for an event? Rachel Bilson shines in a breezy floral dress with single-strap shoes that show off her tan legs! Try budget-friendly # 1 for some silver sparkle. For a playful vibe, try #6 or #7.

Street-Style Edge

Miley adds a little edge with zipper skinny jeans and a structured leather tee. Pair with plain black, or add saucy neon #2 for more "wow" factor.

Babes Who Brunch

Popular blogger Pink Peonies shows that chambray, white jeans, and a funky clutch are the perfect pairing for nude (#8) heels. Wear #3 in place of the patterned clutch and sling a leather bag over your shoulder for brunch or running errands in style.

Date Night Dazzler

A sweet LBD and black heels work well for a date, cocktail party, or concert. Go for #5 or #8 in black and take a tip from Ring My Bell blogger Ashley Madekwe by slinging a leather jacket over your shoulder. For a softer look, add a pop of mint (#4). 

Fab Girl Friday

Barbara Palvin rocks this work-friendly suit with some feminine single strap heels! Put on some red lipstick on your way out of the office to spice up this sleek look. Wear with #7 for some Spring flair or #1 for a business dinner.

Day-to-Day Classic

Follow Miranda's lead by looking put-together with some classic pieces you already have in your closet: black tank, skinny jeans, your favorite colorful purse and (my favorite) #8 heels. Spice up this classic look with any heel you want!

Modern Office Chic

Reese adds a pop of pink to a work-friendly blazer and skirt with similar heels to #1. After work, simply take off the blazer, add #9 floral heels, and you're ready to party!
