So whether you're headed for the beach, or in need of some appropriate summer work shoes, check out these suggestions from the lines at Target!

For the Beach:
Brown leather-strap flip-flops, $9.99- These flip-flops have very soft soles and leather straps for the comfort you desire when making a trip to the beach. Wear them with your swimsuit & cover-up, or pair them with a great pair of linen pants or capris. Either way, these flops give a polished appearance at a minimal price.
Black raffia flip-flops, $7.99- For a more casual look, go with these flip-flops (or if you prefer black over brown!) The raffia soles are not as comfortable, but that may not be important to those who like to roam the beach barefoot!

Casual Outings:
Red gingham sandals with heels, $17.99- Very cute sandals that will bring back memories of picnic on warm sunny days! Wear with a red tube dress for a classy look, or red capris to tone it down some. Work great for daytime parties.
Rope wedges, $20.99- These wedge sandals are adorable! They give much desired height, yet are more comfortable than pumps or stilettos. The neutral color of these sandals makes them very versatile. They will go great with skirts or pants, capris or gauchos. Worth the money!

Other Casual Outings (Closed-toes, for outings that require more walking or activity):
Stone Canvas Oxfords, $11.69- You can't beat a deal like this for one of the most basic staples in your shoe collection. These oxfords are very plain, yet neat looking. They are a great shoe for outings you would not feel comfortable wearing your Nike sneakers to, yet will still be having to do a lot of walking. (Think walks in the park!)
Plaid Canvas Sneakers, $17.99- Too cute! Plaid is big this season and these sneakers are very trendy, with a classic twist. Great for pairing with jeans or jean skirts and a solid top- make the shoes the focal point of your outfit!

A walk on the wild side (Animal prints):
Classy tortoise heels, $17.99- These heels are very classy. They are simple sandals with an animal print that is somewhat muffled, that is, these heels are your opportunity to wear animal prints without calling excessive attention to your feet.
Zebra platform heels, $24.99- Just the opposite, these zebra print heels will have everyone staring and looking. Pair them with a simple black dress to tone down the shock, or mix with red and other bright colors for a uniform bold look. These shoes are designed to make a statement!

Summer Work Shoes:
Black sling-back heels, $17.49- Great compromise between summer casual and stiff formal work wear. These sandals are very appropriate for work and may be worn with suits (especially those of lighter material). Don't leave your sunshine at the door, bring the summer spirit into work with you with these shoes!
Black peep-toes pumps, $24.99- Very classic pumps, with a modern twist. The shirring above the toes calls attention to these great shoes. Be sure to give yourself a great pedicure before wearing these pumps, because everyone will be staring at your toes! Great with pencil skirts.

All Dressed Up:
Adorable red heels, $19.99- For those looking to find the perfect red sandal, look no further! Forget paying $100 at department stores for dressy shoes you hardly get any wear out of. Grab these red heels and put on your party dress! They are guaranteed to warrant compliments.
Gold strappy heels with jewels, $19.99- When you are in need of more versatile summer dress shoes, these heels are great. They are very fashionable and trendy, yet can be worn with many summer dresses and pant suits. Sparkle all night with these jewels!
