This week is my first week home from the legislative session in Montana.  I feel like a caged greyhound.  So much frenetic energy and I need to find somewhere to put it, so I have been mucking out closets and cabinets.

I started with the fridge and the pantry.  Then, I hit the cupboards in the kitchen.  Then, the laundry room and the guest bath.  And today, I’m going to dive into my closet.  So this is a good time to be thinking about rebuilding a work wardrobe that doesn’t serve me as well as it once did.  And one of the things I need are summer shoes that are professional enough for work.  Here are some suggestions, all under-$125.

I love a pointed flat for the office, and this D’orsay Flat from Nine West is a great option.  The shoe comes in black or tan, sizes 5-12, and it comes in W width.  I love the slight bit of lightness from the open side, but still perfectly appropriate for even a stodgy office.

The textured pattern on these snakeskin heels from Lauren by Ralph Lauren is fabulous.  It’s the perfect mix of light and dark for pairing with summer dresses or winter pieces.

Unisa makes chic, basic shoes.  These open-toe wedges give you a little height with more stability than a pump.  They also come in tortoise and silver metallic.

If you wear navy suits (aka summer-black) to work, then you need a pair of navy pumps.  These Antonio Melani heels are a great option.  They’re a comfortable medium height and will really complete your look.

I bought these cork flats from Ann Taylor for a light, summer shoe that I could wear to the office.  I really like them with dresses; they also work with white denim.
