i’ve got a new for-mule-a for fall footwear. it involves buying a buttery pair of leather mules, sliding my feet into them, and never taking them off until next spring.

after writing them off as a little too masculine for my taste, i’ve completely changed my tune on mules. they’re essentially fall’s answer to flip flops -just slip them on and go.

i recently picked up these cognac beauties at madewell and can’t wait to style them all season long. i love how they look with these cropped wide-leg trousers, but will definitely pair them with skinny denim (with the pant legs cuffed an inch or two) when it gets a little cooler. i also love how they look with a boyfriend style jean like jess wore in her recent post. this pair fits true to size -though i have a fairly wide foot, so if you’re on the narrower side, i might suggest sizing down as leather tends to stretch out with frequent wear.

i’ve rounded up some of my favorite mules on the market right now, including this gorgeous velvet pair and these leopard lovelies:
