Kick off Memorial Day in all the white ways. By Kat Clements

So, even though we don't need the seasons to switch to justify donning the summeriest shoes of all, these beaming beauties are so stark and stunning that they demand a little ceremony all their own. In honor of the upcoming weekend, and a season of smart summer style, here are a slew of sandals and sling-backs in awesomely alabaster shades that will make you think twice about kicking off your shoes.
