Wondering how to update your shoe wardrobe for fall? Wonder no more!

Mary Janes are back, and better than ever.

This is one trend I like, both for its retro feel and the fact that a well-positioned strap makes almost any pump more comfortable.

I'm crazy about this Prada Wedge, but not so thrilled with its $790 price tag. Not to worry, though. I've got a range of Mary Janes that are far more budget-friendly!

Get the Prada look for less with these Nine West wedge pumps (Lord & Taylor, $52.49 on sale). This is a PERFECT shoe for work -- sharp, stylish, and reasonably comfortable as well!

ModCloth is making shoes now, which is not good AT ALL for my bank account! I love this Patent Trending Heel (Modcloth, $57.99). So retro!

There are a lot of lower-heeled Mary Janes out there, but many of them look frumpy or like elf shoes. This Vercelli Suede pump, though (Lord & Taylor, $59.99), still looks feminine and stylish. I APPROVE.

Looking to vamp it up? These red suede Mary Janes (Charlotte Russe, $39.50) come in a range of colors and look like they cost far more than two sawbucks! And right now, if you buy one pair of shoes at CR, you get a second pair for $15.50. GET ON THAT.

Finally, these Nine West Mary Janes (Nordstrom, $98.95) are expensive, but they look a LOT like a certain designer pair of $300 Mary Janes. Just sayin.'

Will you wear Mary Janes this fall?
