Time to Treat Yourself

10 shoes I can't stop thinking about for spring.

Who else feels like they’re coming up for air after Q1?

Coupled with some personal stressors I’m not ready to write about just yet, I’ve finally allowed myself to enter the “treat yourself” phase of self-care, grief, and generally prioritizing my mental health. So when I want to make peel-and-bake cookies on a Wednesday night to eat with a popcorn dinner, I do. If I need a Saturday night out with friends drinking martinis even though I have a ton of errands to run on Sunday and I’ll feel like a human garbage can, who cares? If I spot a cute little pair of flats on my FYP, I allow myself to buy them on impulse for once. Life is extremely short, my friends, and shoes in particular are my greatest weakness. I’m a New Yorker! We walk A LOT. My justification is sound.

I think we could all use a period of time (not too long, I’m not Jenner-level wealthy) to simply allow ourselves to enjoy life without guilt or overthinking every single decision. It might look different for everyone, but consider this permission to indulge a tiny bit—I have a feeling you deserve it.

With that in mind, here’s all the footwear that’s catching my eye for a little spring pick-me-up.
