Everyone who knows me knows I am an avid shoe lover, and if you’re close to me, you know how serious my shoe collection (read: hoard) is getting. I’ve been cutting down on purchases lately, only making room for new pairs of shoes that meet a rigorous criteria of value, everyday practicality, outfit versatility, and outstanding uniqueness, but let’s go over all that and I’ll let you help me decide on the shoes pictured above. I recently discovered ShoeDazzle’s Ailbhe t-strap sandals, which are right up my alley in terms of ferociousness and sass. The platform sandals feature a soft black fabric finish offset by the bright neon trim, which is so very on trend. These shoes, and all of ShoeDazzle’s items, are delightfully only a fraction of the price of styles closely similar to Jimmy Choo, Gucci, and countless other luxury labels. Moreover, I absolutely love the sky-high heel and platform, so these sandals may be deceivingly easy to walk in, and will clearly work with so many outfits. So what do you say, are thes a pair of shoes worthy of some space in my hoard collection for?
