    Like many fashion girls, I subscribe to the notion that you can’t have too many shoes. I temper that unabashed indulgence with the fact that my wardrobe stays largely neutral and streamlined, so shoes often do the heavy lifting—whether I’m pairing a calf-length boot with a casual outfit or stepping out in sleek mules for the evening.

    Summer isn't over yet—but there are plenty of summer shoes worth bookmarking while they’re marked down. This season, there are a few trends I keep coming back to: ’90s thong sandals, injections of bold color, and flats with a sharper, more sculptural silhouette. Some are new additions for me, and others I’ve been wearing for a while—either way, the best pairs right now all land in that sweet spot between form and function.

    In summer especially, you want shoes that move with you—styles that work just as well with an oversized, city-ready look as they do with your breezy Euro summer wardrobe. Warmer months often call for less restrictive styles, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have fun with it. Below, find the best summer shoes on sale to shop now, all for under $150.
