To mule or not to mule? Why strap it in when you can easily slide your shoe on and off?
You can attain the Cinderella fit with a mule that keeps things simple without complex straps - no fuss. It looks lovely paired with everything from shorts and capris to almost all office attire. This shoes differentiates the gals that don’t need to be strapped in in order to walk in heels without stumbling.
My first showcase is a fun silver and black contrast. This is a standard mule with a thicker and thinner strap, which holds your foot in while really letting your feet breathe. This is the classic mule minus the chunky heel, which seems to be a trend I avoided all season. I have this shoe in black and white and it goes well with everything from my wrap dresses and maxis, to my shorts, and even to my cuffed denim. I especially love this mule with shorts because it will not overpower the look or give it an overly provocative look like some heels can when paired with shorts.
