Four Fierce Shoe Styles for Fall

Fall affords a lot of options, especially when it comes to footwear. This season, mix it up your wardrobe with some classic and trendy styles.

• Oxfords - this classic shoe has made its return and is more fashionable than ever! Try these shoes from ALDO to put a little pep in your step.

We know collegiate females LOVE their UGG boots, especially in the cold weather, but we'd like you to try a more earth-friendly approach to the style. These boots from Alternative Outfitters are not only cute and comfy, but they don't cause harm to any of our fellow earth-dwellers. 

Women's Classic Black Faux Shearling Vegan Boot ($48) available here.

(Why we're not a fan of UGG boots - Read this post from one our blog favs The GirlieGirl Army about the truth behind the UGG.)

• Leather and Suede - not only do they help keep your feet toasty, they also add sophistication and texture to any ensemble. These boots from Piperlime are easy on the eyes and easy on your wallet.

• Bright Color - Colorful shoes are a great way to make an outfit pop. Bright colors contrast beautifully with traditional "earthy" fall colors. These shoes from Zappos add a powerful punch of color to a neutral-toned outfit.
