Luckily, shoes like the Tory Burch Tatum Platform Sandals abound this season. I'm particularly fond of this pair, though, because the heel and straps are so substantial. You'll find a lot of uses for this type of color once you get it into your wardrobe, and with a design like Burch's shoes, you'll be able to wear them as much as you want.

For some reason, I've been convinced for years that orange-tinged pinks and reds don't look good on me. Considering that I have pale skin and dark hair, I don't think that's objectively true, but it's the kind of belief that persists simply because it was ingrained in my mind so early.

In reality, brights look almost universally flattering to my skin tone, but I'm having to ease myself into coral via accessories until I clear the last mental roadblock to wholehearted embrace of the shade.

The light, frothy sundresses of spring and summer need a good shoe to anchor them, and the heft of these sandals is just right. Toryburch did the smart thing by not cluttering them up with too many straps or too much hardware, and with the prevalence of color-mixing for spring, you'll be able to wear them with all kinds of outfits until the weather turns cool again.
