I owe a debt of gratitude to the first fashionistas that braved censure and styled their dressy outfits and business attire with sneakers. I’ve even developed a bit of a ‘poison eye’ for stilettos, and play a game of choosing alternative footwear to coordinate with outfits worn by the POW* and other political and celebrity fashionistas, who get photographed in ultra high heels.

On the other hand, sometimes only a dressy shoe will do! I was very happy to source two similar shoes that read as ‘dressy’ and yet are ‘all day’ shoes for me with a modest (<1 inch) heel. (See finds below)
