When I think of mules, I think of clunky, cloven shoes that barely qualify as heels. But this recent trend toward sleeker pumps has me rethinking that characterization.

There are two kinds of people in this world: People who eat cake on their birthdays and people who don’t. And some of the weirdos in the latter category (I said what I said) eat pie as an alternative. So if you’re a “birthday pie” eater with a late summer celebration coming up, may I […]
After Sloane was born, I developed a seething hatred for underwire bras. The trouble was that I had also developed a larger, slightly droopier bust. It was a cruel irony.
Our tween and teen nieces spent the first half of 2023 reviving our high school fashions. From peasant tops to low rises, I felt like I was back bopping to N’SYNC in my mint-green sedan for a minute. Now, our 20-something direct reports are bringing back the 2010s in a big way, and I am […]

For the past few years, the wardrobes of many influencers have tilted toward the beige and boring. I’m all for a good basic, but staple pieces can only take you so far. Sometimes, you need to wear something that has a little something extra, and this sale-priced tee certainly does.
I just cannot get myself to wear mules to work.Period. For weekend and night outs yes, for work, cannot get my mind to say yes.
I agree, even on a casual day. Work shoes need backs, at least a strap. I can’t…just…can’t.
I was thinking about them for under pants. I’m not sure I would wear them with a skirt. I definitely wouldn’t wear them with a suit, but maybe on Friday with a pleated skirt.
I have never had a pair of mules that didn’t make the “flop flop flop” sound as I walked down the hall. Not the most professional. Cute for a date night though!
Good point. I guess I’ll have to try on a few pair because I hate the clopping noise as well.
There used to something called Tiger Tape that I once used in desperation on a loose slingback strap. It worked like a charm, and didn’t damage the shoe or my heel. It might be worth it for this type of shoe-stick a piece of double sided tape to the sole.
