This might come as a shock, but my choice of shoes used to be a complete afterthought. I live in New York, so I’d always default to the same pair of sneakers and call it a day. But lately, I’ve been inspired to branch out and add some new shoes to my collection. I recently discovered Dream Pairs and Nortiv 8, whose selection of on-trend, yet affordable shoes elicited a shopping impulse I didn’t even know I had in me. Nothing is over $70, and the pairs I gravitated toward are all under $50. So without further ado, please enjoy these very chic shoes.
