How To Still Wear Winter Shoes

Admittedly, I've been holding onto a pair of black suede smoking slippers that I really have no business wearing so late in the game. But, they're so comfy, in my mind still go with everything and make me happy. So what's a girl to do--and how do I transition them into summer? This photo shows you can still wear the dark shoes you love, just go for a jean in a lighter wash, add an effortless cuff if you can to show some skin and try for some lighter colors on top (think a chambray shirt, grey v-neck or bright print button-down).
