I am not hung up on the old rules about wearing white shoes-like not before Memorial day or after labor day, but the one about wearing white shoes only with white and only for daytime was one I sort o f had stuck in my head for a while. about two summers ago I bought a pair of white sandals wore them maybe 3 times. They were worn with white linen skirt and white linen pants. They went into the big outed bag with the big purge as they were in the hurt feet category. I will still be wearing the whites this spring summer, but will be adding pastels to my summer wardrobe. I have not been a big fan of pastels, but somehow they are speeking to me now. So my question is do white shoes look good with pastels or should one stick to neutrals like bone, beige, nude, grey, silver or such? Just found a pair of great looking white flats but wondering if they would be a good investment. Since the purge I only have nude heels and silver sandals for summer wear.
