Summer shoes to wear with skirts....

Am eagerly awaiting the good weather as I've been on a health kick and will therefore be getting my legs out and wearing skirts for the first time for years this summer (lost 2 stone basically Smile).

But I've lost touch a bit with what style of shoes would look young & stylish but also go well with me having my legs out. I'm tall (nearly 5ft 10) within skinny legs (the bottom half of, anyway) and have size 8 feet, so have never felt right in ballet pumps because they make my feet look like canoes Grin.

Any suggestions please? Last summer I lived in jeans/canvas trousers and just wore sketchers type pumps - but I would like something a bit smarter looking, but for everyday wear....

Espidrilles? Not sure they are trendy though.

Jelly shoes by Mel (you can get them at Debenhams). Not sure these are trendy either.
Toms-these are trendy I believe

Good for you on the weight loss. There's nothing like the feeling of being able to fit into smaller clothes.
Next have got a really good range of shoes out at the moment. I know you said you weren't keen on ballet shoes but they do some with a small block heel so that lift might make your feet look smaller iyswim.
Got a pair of the mel shoes too. I'm not bothered if they're not trendy enough, I like them so I'm gonna wear them :)
