7. MulesI started off spring with a slight meh for this trend. Today… (as it usually happens with me) I woke up loving it. Wore mules once, shall wear them again.

8. BirkenstocksIt’s the infamous shoe! I’m still in denial with this one, yet I bow to those who know how to wear the ugly sandal and look great!

9. Ankle Strap SandalsIt was on a roll last summer and is still up high in the sky, trending big time. It goes with anything. Literally.

You know, the ugly shoes that actually look great!
