Olive & Black

 I’m pretty sure last year was the first time I tried booties with a modest 2 inch heel. It’s safe to say I’m obsessed – they’re an essential for comfortable walking in cooler weather. So even though I love the look of a higher heel, when I know I’ll be doing a lot of running around the modest heel is my go-to. And now that it’s a trendier heel height, there are so many good options available:

• Under $100: this pair is a great basic
• Under $150: this one and this one are almost identical, but I think I prefer the latter
• Under $200: this one has a chunkier heel and this one has a lovely chain detail for a more elevated look
• Under $400: I think this one is perfectly proportioned and I’ve had great experience with the quality of Vince shoes
• Over $500: In terms of comfort, Prada is among the best, I think! This one is sleek and elegant.

Happy Monday and Happy Halloween!
