What are you wearing w/capris this year?
coasterqueen wrote: My sister got me thinking yesterday about what I'm going to wear with capris this year. She just bought some ballet flats to go with hers and I started wondering what in the heck will I wear. I wore a lot of dress flip-flop heeled shoes last year, but I'm sure there are some more stylish things out there this year that are cuter? I've worn the dressy flip-flop heels (small heeled) for years now and need a change.
So what are you wearing with capris this year?
ETA I would need shoes I could wear for business to business-casual.
moped replied: Well anything really, but I will be wearing ballet flats, cork wedge peep toes, flip flops.......anything goes.
Here are some examples of what i have

Pumps will work great too for work I think!
luvmykids replied: Something, anything in a wedge is hot, hot, hot this year. I think they're super comfy too. There are open toed leather wedges, espadrilles, you name it.
coasterqueen replied: Well I have several open toed dressy shoes, but my sister seemed to think they were too dressy for capris. I figured she's much younger than me so I listened to her.  I do have a 2 pair of wedges I love. I'll have to try them on with capris and see how they look. I was definitely thinking of espadrilles, though! I found a really cute pair I thought would look good with capris.
Thanks ladies. 
coasterqueen replied: Oh and Jen, I love those ballet flats - I love the metallic ones better, but they are both cute! Now I'm on the hunt for some cute ones around here. 
moped replied: I have these in a black to wear with gauchos..........

luvmykids replied: Jenn you have great taste in shoes
moped replied:
HA Thanks, but I have to say that I think I do too  . I love them all. Dressy for work, casual for hanging out etc etc.......I have an addiction actually.
coasterqueen replied: The only knack I have is finding shoes that ARE NOT comfortable to be standing in all day long.  Or for any amount of time for that matter. 
mysweetpeasWil&Wes replied: I LOVE the shoes Jen suggested! So cute! We have an Aldos in the city but I never shop there. I have to go back now! I totally agree with the others...flats, wedges, peep toes. Even heels, especially for work. Nothing too stiletto like, but a nice peep toe pump is really cute IMO.
luvmykids replied:
Do you have a Kohl's? I just went in ours for the first time and was amazed at how comfy Daisy Fuentes' line is, every pair I tried on felt great.
A&A'smommy replied: These are hot this year I personally will probably NOT wear them.. although I MIGHT get a pair for the cruise I dunno anyway I am seeing this style EVERYWHERE even with gouchos

You can get them from somewhere other than vc though these are just some examples...
BTW i'm wearing flip flops I LOVE flip flops
Brias3 replied: I'm still gonna go with strappy and cute sandals for dressier capris, and casual sandals for everday ones. I have a couple pairs of the ballet flats so far but I hate the idea of wearing close-toed shoes in summer when I wait for the chance to do that all year 
You might get away with the flats for business-casual.
mysweetpeasWil&Wes replied: I have a pair off the leopard skin ballet slippers that are in the VS link, but bought them at Payless for maybe $14. They are silky fabric on the outside. I LOVE THEM!!! I bought them thinking oh gosh, what am I going to wear with these...but I said you know what, I have never own leopard ANYTHING, so I'm going to go for it and I now wear them with everything...Jeans, shorts (long length), cargo pants, skirts and even dressy pants (although you rarely see me in dressy pants). They are so comfy and like I said, go with just about everything. Doesn't necessarily have to be brown or black. Really great with jean color.
Maybe find some with a little more wedge heal for the office.
coasterqueen replied: Monica - we do have a Kohls. I did buy a pair of slingbacks from there that Aimee posted, but those things were terribly uncomfortable for my toes with wearing them 24/7. I did see on Kohl's website they have a lot of cute shoes, though, especially the DF ones. I'll have to look at those. I did buy a pair of peep toe pumps there too, but they were so uncomfortable wearing all day at work.
This is sad but a lot of my comfy feeling shoes actually come from Payless.  It's hit or miss but I have a lot more luck there than places like Kohls, etc.
We do not have an Aldo's here and as scuffed up and worn down heels get for me working downtown, working late LONG hours, etc I just don't like to spend a ton on shoes, kwim?
Jessy Ann - those flats are cute!!! But I agree with Brias3 that I look forward to wearing shoes that don't smother my feet so I am a bit hesitant. I may order one pair from there, though, because they are so cute!
Rae - I wear a lot of black and tan/brown and I've never worn leopard print before either, but I could probably get away with wearing it with the colors I wear a lot. I just might do that.
Thanks everyone for your ideas. I guess I never thought peep toe pumps or some of my wedges would actually look good w/capris. I never gave them a chance, though, so I will definitely have to have a "try-on" of my pants with my shoes and see where I'm lacking.
You all are great.
luvmykids replied:
I bought those too 
FWIW, the DF's were way, way, way more comfy but they didn't have the ones I wanted in black
coasterqueen replied:
Did you find the slingbacks comfy. Maybe it's my toes. My toes ache a lot anyways because I'm in heels for 9 - 10 hours a day.
luvmykids replied:
Comfy enough I couldn't be on my feet for more than a few hours probably but I think in the DF's I could, I have wide feet and funny arches but they seemed to have a little more padding or something? I get cramps in my arches really easily but the DF's had great arch support.
Is the sore spot always your toes? Have you tried any of the inserts they have now for heels? I've seen cushions for the ball of your foot, things you put on the side of your pinky toe, heel pads, etc....Maybe those would help?
coasterqueen replied:
Well my pinky toe always hurts whether I get WW or not. My BIGGEST pain is from my feet being arched high all day, kwim? Because they are in high heels they are arched at a funny angle. I didn't have that problem when I wore low heeled pumps, but I much prefer to wear high heels these days, for one so I don't have to have my pants tailored in length So for some reason my feet just can't get used to wearing HIGH heels and I've been wearing them for a long time now.
