Women Can Wear Girly Shoes

UPDATED APRIL 2015 //  The original girly shoes post included below from July 2012 still remains one of TAGG’s most popular so it’s clearly been way overdue for an update!

While this girl wears a size 9 shoe (I know, a boat for my 5’3 height!), there are many of you who can definitely take advantage of wearing girls shoes instead of women’s… with a major cost savings on stylish finds you’d never realize were originally designed for kids.

Check out all the options below for updated, Spring 2015 finds, many that can fit up to a women’s size 8 (most go up to size 7). So many cute, seemingly adult styles, right?? The key is to avoid too many embellishments, any child-like details or prints and for boots, unless you’re petite, stick with booties; the calf shaft might hit you in a weird place with a kid’s version.

HOW THIS WORKS: Youth shoes are about two sizes apart (and the same size as men’s!) so, for example, a youth size 6 is a men’s size 6 and a women’s size 8. It’s easiest to find sizes that work up to a women’s size 7 (youth size 5), however options do exist!).how to convert kids shoes sizes for women

Original post //  Remember how I showed you how I styled a girls’ dress from Crew Cuts (the kiddie version of J. Crew) on Monday? Well, even if you don’t think you’re made for kiddie sizes, your feet might! Did you know that women up to about shoe size 8.5 can wear children’s shoes? While yes, a majority of shoes look youthful, there are a number of stylish looks and some that are even identical to their pricier adult counterparts.
