I know, I know it’s only 56 days until spring. But this is the time that us tastemakers – and even fledgling taste makers – begin to look for our new spring “thing”.

You know… The style “thing”, when you pick a style to help make your mark and define your style for the upcoming season.

This spring, I load in my Arsenal – the Chinese Mary Jane slipper.

I know, do tell right? Why the Chinese Mary Jane slipper?

Aside from the obvious heel height departure these shoes are versitle, little statement makers in the making.

Not to mention they are crazy inexpensive. Urban Outfitters has them by the boatload and ranging from $4.99 to 2 for $20.

Sometimes, in order to shake things up, your style taste has to make a hard left.  I’m choosing this as the spring shoe because of the personalities of the shoe, the ease (perf for biking and walking once you add inserts), and the variety.

These are an especially great and inexpensive addition to those of us with a minimal wardrobe!
