Go-to Summer Dress Shoes for the Late-'70s Mom in You!

($24, Fred Flare)
So easy it oughta be illegal. These are totally up my Etienne Aigner alley, speaking of which, I SO meant to blog about this back when it was published, but Trend Central did a fashion forecasting piece on the new decades trend: dressing like a late-'70s/ early-'80s mom. AND. I. LOVES. IT. They specifically referenced Etienne Aigner. I love that brand's '70s stuff and the whole burgandy leather bags, cords, fitted blazers, brown wedges look. Even plaid button-down shirts with the bows and sweater vests. Think the girls of The Facts of Life -- especially Blair, before she went all cray-cray Christian -- or Dana Plato as Kimberley Drummond. It feels so wholesome and safe. Well, not Dana Plato doing Playboy, holding up a video store and later ODing, but that look.

Anyway, these are go-to Free-to-be-You-and-Me '70s mom shoes, and they're SO cheap and cute. Get 'em!
