Tread Brightly in a Pair of Color-Blocked Heels (thefind Guest Post)

From our friends at thefind.com:

If you’re as avid a shopper as I am, chances are you’ve already rounded out your collection of must-have spring footwear, from platform wedge espadrilles to woven flats. You likely also already have your trusty troupe of platform pumps in all the typical neutrals, plus the occasional pop of color like cobalt or coral… to just spice things up. What you probably don’t already have, however, is a pair of color-blocked heels! Color blocking has been ridiculously popular over the past handful of seasons, in the form of springy sundresses, slim banded skirts, and even accessories like scarves and bangles, but they’ve yet to really hit it off in the realm of footwear, despite previous attempts to kick-start the trend.

But realistically, what’s not to love? In a style season where mixed prints and patterns are encouraged, not to mention our obsession with pops of color and unexpected shade combos, color-blocked shoes are just another way to add dimension and stand out among the taupe pumps and nude wedges! If rainbow brights aren’t your thing, avoid these fierce Prada sandals and opt for color-blocked neutrals courtesy of these strappy Chie Maharas. These patent leather Pour la Victoire sandals are the perfect mix of wearable yet bold, while these silver and lime strappy wedges by Jil Sander are a standout take on this season’s platform sandals!
