I'm a Sandal Connoisseur: All of My Expensive-Looking Pairs Come From One Place
As much as I believe in the act of treating one's self, that's rarely been the case for me when it comes to shoes. Lately, all of my "splurge" money has been devoted to designer handbags (there are so many good ones out there right now) and booking more tropical vacations, so the thought of handing over a ton of money for expensive sandals feels a bit unnecessary. And when you constantly walk everywhere like me, shoes tend to deteriorate faster than normal. But above all else, I haven't felt the need to go the expensive route because I've got ASOS.
No other retailer has seen my card information quite like ASOS. The bulk of my 2022 sandal collection comes courtesy of the British shop, and scoping out its new arrivals has become part of my daily ritual. From its diverse range of shoe sizes (from size 4 to size 12 in most cases) to its selection of trendy silhouettes at an affordable price point, ASOS comes in clutch when I'm looking to be a fashion person on a budget. It also helps that most of my friends think my ASOS shoes are designer when I wear them out. Since today's the day I'm revealing one of my best-kept shopping secrets, I figured I'd help you with 30 pairs I currently can't stop thinking about.
Pro tip before you buy: grab the $19 premier shipping subscription, which gives you free express shipping for a year, and stock up on shoes to your heart's content.
