Stunning Shoes and Bags From DSW
Shopping for fashionista moms is simple thanks to DSW, which offers a vast selection of stylish footwear and handbags that make incredible Mother’s Day gifts. Here are some of my personal favorites, which tap into spring and summer trends with their floral motifs and Bohemian-chic vibes.
First, the Kelly & Katie Sloannes Flats (now $49.99 on DSW.com) is a versatile sling-back shoe that can be dressed up or down depending on the event. Its slip-on design and cushioned footbed make it comfortable enough for busy days, but the painterly floral print and bejeweled buckle accent add an elegance and glamour to the design.
Next, for moms who love the comfort of a sneaker but want something that has a bit of personality, there’s the Jessica Simpson Cherello Platform Sneakers (now $69.99 on DSW.com). Featuring a 1.75″ platform, these sneakers pack attitude and sass, plus they feature an all-over embroidered daisy design that gives the kicks a free-spirited vibe.
Lastly, the Vince Camuto Acaylee Sandals (now $59.99 on DSW.com) feel like they were made for Mother’s Day brunches and garden tea parties! Featuring glossy white uppers with a blue floral print, an ankle strap, and a 2.1″ block heel, these sandals are elegant but sensible.
And if mom loves a great handbag, check out Kelly & Katie’s beautifully crafted clutches— like the Beaded Floral (now $39.99 on DSW.com) and Lurex Straw Clutch ($24.99 on DSW.com) — are a great way to add visual intrigue to an outfit.
