Fall Shoes, Good Vibes & A Great Cause

Shoes That Feel Good and Do Good

There’s something about fall that makes getting dressed feel exciting again—layers, textures, and of course… shoes! 🍁 The right pair can completely change how you feel in an outfit, but that doesn’t mean you need a closet full of options. A few thoughtful basics can carry you through the season in style without breaking the bank. I pulled together a few of my favorite fall shoe picks here if you’re looking for inspiration.

3 Must-Have Shoes for Fall

1. Classic Ankle Boots
A true fall essential. Choose a versatile neutral—black, taupe, or cognac—that pairs easily with jeans, skirts, and dresses. A block heel adds polish without sacrificing comfort.

2. Loafers or Flats
Perfect for busy weekdays, they bring an effortless, put-together feel to both workwear and denim. Look for sleek leather or suede styles in tones that complement your wardrobe.

3. Clean White or Neutral Sneakers
A modern wardrobe staple. They instantly make tailored pieces more approachable while keeping you comfortable on the go.

Style tip: If you love a little flair, one statement pair (like a pop of color or fun pattern) can add personality to your basics.

Shop Local, Support Students

This year, I’m teaming up with A Pied Boutique — my go-to spot for curating stylish, comfortable footwear—for a special evening that combines all my favorite things: style, community, and giving back.

🗓️ September 28
⏰ 5:30–7:30 PM
📍 A Pied Boutique

Enjoy light bites, drinks, and shopping—plus, 20% of all sales will support St. Catherine-St. Lucy School.

Why this cause? My husband, Staunton, is running his first Chicago Marathon to raise tuition support for students at St. Catherine-St. Lucy. Every step he runs—and every shoe you buy—helps make a difference.

Whether you’re refreshing your fall lineup or simply want a fun evening out, I’d love to see you there.

Can’t make it? I’m happy to shop for you (just share your size and style needs!), or you can still support Staunton’s marathon fundraiser by donating here: [Donation Link].

With Love and Style,

Annie
