The Most Versatile Summer Sandals

How to wear summer sandals

To splurge or not to splurge, that is the question, or at least that’s a question that I get asked from time to time. Can you splurge on fashion and still have an affordable wardrobe? If your budget allows it then, of course, it’s okay to splurge! Before you make a splurge purchase it’s important to think about the value that the item will hold in your wardrobe. If the value is high, meaning you will wear it all the time in multiple ways and it makes you feel good wearing it, then go for it!
