Kmart is Fashionable! (I know!)

It is well known that I am an aficionado of Target’s shoes: they’re stylish and reasonably priced. Despite my having a Kmart much closer to my home, however, the extent of my interaction with their shoe department has always been limited to my walking by it and sighing woefully. Terrible.

Then I go in there last week for tissues and a perusal of their Halloween things, do a walk-by of the shoe department, and stop. There are stylish shoes. An abundance of stylish shoes. I look around: yes, I’m still in Kmart. How could I have been so wrong? How long has this been going on?

Exhibit A:

  How I love gray! And ruffles! The Jasper Shootie by Attention has a four-inch heel, fabric upper and ruffle, and a zipper up the back. Yours for $25.

Exhibit B: The Jayden by GLO are covered in gold glitter! They also come in red fabric, but... gold glitter!! (They have almost a rose-gold undertone in person... warm and beautiful.) They also have a four-inch heel; yours for $25.

Exhibht C: The Tower Over-the-Knee Boot by Sofia by Sofia Vergara has a 4.5-inch heel and buckles and straps galore! These are like superhero boots, and they’re a dirty rotten steal for $50.

Exhibit D: Rawr! The Taja by Jaclyn Smith is a round-toe leopard Mary Jane with a 2.5-inch heel and shiny black button—it’s so 50s bad girl I can barely stand it. Yours for $15!

Exhibit E: Three words: cuffed. Red. Suede. How sweet would the Tova by Route 66 be with jeans and a sweater? Three buckles up the back too! Yours for $20.

The ones I got for myself? These:

  The Toba Scrunch Boot by Route 66 has a cute little one-inch wedge (easy to walk to work in!) and a buckle across the back. Just pull them on and go! Available in black or brown for $30.

You win this round, Kmart. Let’s see if you can keep it up!
