I was introduced to Irregular Choice earlier this year when Gala Darling posted about their shoes after a trip to ENKWSA, a footwear trade show! This is another brand that is serving a lot of fun color and texture, and none of the shoes in this post cost more than $200. Let’s check out some standouts that I found on the IC website.
These are a whole season (summer, naturally) in a single shoe. Ain’t What by Irregular Choice, $145.
I’ll tell you why I love these so much. They DEFINE how I feel about black items being more than just black. Look at the heel! It’s a kitten heel, but the most interesting kitten heel you have ever seen. Drive in Movie by Irregular Choice, $155.
The Anglophile in me loves anything with a Union Jack. These shoes fit the bill. Patty by Irregular Choice, $120.
HOLY CRAP look at these. I wear pants a lot, and I would find a skirt to wear with some dark tights if these shoes were in my life. Not so much shoes for the office, but that are perfect for a fabulous night out. Mayhem by Irregular Choice, $195.

Lisa for Donald J. Pliner is my latest shoe obsession. Introduced to me by Marie Denee, AKA The Curvy Fashionista, this line is designed by Donald’s wife Lisa. My eye was immediately caught by the fabulous green sole, because it is such a classic, gorgeous shade of green. Bonus, the shoes are cute too! I bought a pair of DJP boots last year and they were fast favorites, so I am now a big fan of the brand, and am really excited to see this new line. Here are a few of my favorites.
These are super fabulous but it’s unlikely that I would be wearing them. The heel is very thin and high. Loving those flowers though. INK by Lisa for Donald J. Pliner, on sale for $212 at Zappos.
I love a wedge. They make your calves look good and you can walk in them for more than a block without stopping! KASI by Lisa for Donald J. Pliner, $325 at Zappos.
I saw these platform pumps first and they are my favorite! Plus, black heels are that much more interesting with a bit of texture. RAZ by Lisa for Donald J. Pliner, $315 at Zappos.

Poetic Licence is today’s featured brand for the shoe party! I discovered this brand during some random browsing, and the colors and cute designs of the shoes, paired with heels that wouldn’t kill me, are really appealing.
These remind me of a much more fabulous version of ye olde shoes worn by the nation’s forefathers. Plus, a wonderful feature that shows up on a number of Poetic Licence shoes is the bit of wedge within the heel – great for stability. Sweet Ending by Poetic Licence, $109.25 at Zappos.
Hello green texture with a touch of turquoise! LOVE. Charm School by Poetic Licence, $109.25 at Zappos.
I just purchased these to be my Las Vegas vow renewal shoes, because black + white + red x polka dots = fabulous. Apple Pie by Poetic Licence, on sale for $78.40 at Zappos.
