I have a confession to made: I have a bigtime shoe crush on a fellow blogger[‘s shoes].
Ever since I started reading ThinkThruFashion by Sydne Summer, i’ve enjoyed watching her rock her monthly staples, and her absolute diligence for daily outfit photos (for her “fashion diary”) deserves the utmost respect.
This month, she’s got an adorable, sunny set of staples that she’s rocking throughout the month. One in particular caught my eye, and at first… I admit, they put me off. I scrunched my nose a bit and squinted one eye. Floral wedges? For real?
Sydne was rocking a pair of Steve Madden Wildd wedges ($149.99) and I had so many feelings. Do I like them? Are they too insane? FLORAL? I mean, seriously?
But as the month progressed, I realized that I did, in fact, completely adore them with every ounce of my being. Partly due to Sydne Summer’s ability to pull ’em off like she was born in ’em.
As you can see, I obviously need a pair of floral heels now. Thanks a lot, Sydne, THANKS A LOT.
Unfortunately, $150 for Steve Madden wedges isn’t budgeted when I take into consideration hot meals and electricity, so I’ve had to dig up some alternatives that will have to subdue me for the time being.

I love them. I think I like even some of your options better.
agreed! not having the floral on the wedge tones them down a bit.
Those Steve Maddens are insane! Love them, however I think Id choose the cheaper more subdued Fahrenheit wedges with the wooden heels you've posted :)

I like them more then I thought I would! Thanks for the blog post. :)
Great alternatives to the spendy florals! I'd wear any or all of your choices - cuuute.
So fun- I love hem! Definitely one of those summer items I want bud dont need!
She looks amazing, I wouldn't normally gravitate to a shoe like that but it is perfect for summer!
Totally! At first I was like "WOW, OSTENTATIOUS!" but they've totally grown on me.
Oh! I just looked and the Steve Madden ones that Sydne wears are on sale for $99! Just thought I would share. Also Ruche has some cute ones for only $58 and I saw some on Free People for $69

I am also still deciding if I should get a pair and which ones.
Oooooh! Wow! I will definitely check out the Ruche pair! I'm not a huge fan of Free People, but I might have to sneak a peek anyway - heehee!
Thank you so SO much for letting me know! <3 xo
