Focus on - Colourful Sandals
Apparently, the sunshine’s making a comeback at the end of the week (praise be!), and it’s got me thinking all about sandals. I’ve been adding a few new pieces into the Curated Wardrobe, and honestly—the sandal game on the high street right now is strong. Colourful, comfy, throw-on-and-go… it’s giving easy summer style in the best way.
I always think it’s worth having two types of sandals in your wardrobe:
Neutral pairs that go with everything, think your season neutrals and/or metallics.
A fun, colourful pair that adds a pop to any outfit.
That combo covers you for just about anything, and the shops are delivering right now. ✨
Since starting Joyfully Dressed, I’ve been building a bit of a sandal capsule. Each summer I’ve treated myself to one ‘special’ pair nothing wild, just something I genuinely love and will wear on repeat. I find sandals last really well, and because they’re so easy to style with the rest of my wardrobe, I never get bored of them.
Last year it was my hot pink Tevas (still obsessed). This year? The black and silver pair I’ve been wearing non-stop lately—they’re practical but still interesting, and filled the exact gap I had in my wardrobe. You’ve probably seen them in half my outfits!
And that’s what’s changed for me through this style journey: I don’t feel the need to constantly buy new. Even when I see lovely shoes in the shops, I’m still happy reaching for the ones I already own, and that feels like a win.
