I would wear the warm weather wedges. My favorite out of all those wedges is the last pink one. As for the flat sandals, I would wear the yellow one.:)

I love wedges! I’m short so it’s a great casual way for me to add height haha

I love the flat sandals. I can never seem to find somewhere where its appropriate to wear heels- even though I’d love to because I’m so short.
