Ok, let’s face it, your pretty pedicured toes should be on display this summer. As I’ve been focusing on stepping up my shoe game, I can’t seem to stop browsing at an oldie but classic shoe staple, the mule.

Mules used to remind me of the wooden clogs I wore back in middle school (don’t ask), which is why I’ve avoided them for so long. But lately, with refreshing styles and modern flavor from designers like Alexander Wang, Tibi, and Christian Louboutin, I am swooning over the mule. Now, a girl doesn’t always have Wang priced pockets, so I’ve included some cute and affordable options for you to check out, as well as some yummy splurges!

Why is it that designer shoes are so much more fun?! If you feel like splurging on a pair of multicolored, textured, delicious designer mules, then check out these chic options.

If you’re feeling the mule but a little clueless on how to sport a pair, here is a clean look I put together to make it easy for everyone. An all white ensemble showcasing your heels and accessories, inspired by Solange Knowles.

What do you think about the mule and the look I put together? How would you wear this look?
