The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Should Be a National Holiday—Shop the Shoes I'm Buying ASAP

Most Wanted is a weekly series in which one editor, staffer, or influencer shares their top 30 must-haves or current wish-list items.

I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm a certified shoe fanatic. I converted my kitchen pantry into a shoe closet, but even that has started to overflow. Some would call that a "problem," but I call it a "collection." The only way I can afford this footwear love affair and pay my bills is by shopping The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. More often than not, sale sections are riddled with last season's styles in colors or patterns that don't feel of-the-moment, but that's not the case with the following 30 pairs of shoes. Below, you can shop black Western boots, silver ballet flats, red Mary Janes, and white sneakers that can be worn from summer through fall. You'd be impressed with how much self-restraint it took to curate this list, but join me in shopping the discounted shoes below.
