This particular style of Mary Jane, with a narrow strap low on the foot, has to be my very favourite. It's somehow more elegant than the versions where the strap sits across the bridge of the foot and, of course, the narrow stiletto heel helps too.
These shoes come from Warehouse, which was a little bit of a surprise to me: I love Warehouse's clothes, but their shoes have been nice, but nothing particularly special up until now. At £60, though, these are good value for a shoe you'll get a whole lot of wear out of.

These purple Mary Janes from Aldo are the perfect colour for the coming Autumn, I think, although if you'd like something just a little more versatile, they're also available in black patent and grey. I love the covered platform and high stiletto heel, which help add a little sex appeal to the Mary Jane shape, and the toe shape is a welcome change from the rounded toes which are so common on Mary Janes in general. Finally, the little button on the strap is the perfect finishing touch!
Get them for £70 from Aldo.

These shoes are more or less the "mullets" of the Mary Jane world, all buiness in the front and party at the back! At first glance, the slightly sensible shape doesn't seem to lend itself to the sparkly heel, but now that I've seen them a few times, I'm starting to really like them, and think the heel gives a nice, unexpected twist to what could have been accused of being just a little bit boring otherwise.
They're £55 from Topshop.

Technical issues prevented us from bringing you your regularly-scheduled Mary Jane love-in yesterday, so rather than let you go without, here's a picture of Jimmy Choo's 'Kindle' patent Mary Janes to make up for it.
These are classic in shape, but sometimes you need a little bit of classic Mary Jane shape in your life, and if you do, you can buy these at Net-a-Porter, where the bad news is that they'll set you back £350.

This Monday we thought we'd bring you a pop of colour with your regularly scheduled Mary Jane fix, so here are five pairs of red shoes to brighten your day.
These 'Glinda' shoes from Amazon are the ultimate 'Dorothy' shoes, with all that red glitter. That's going to make them totally impractical for all but the very glitziest of occasions, of course, but I don't think a roundup of red Mary Janes would be complete without them, do you? Read on for some more...

It's Monday, but if you're feeling fed up to be back at work at the start of another long week don't worry, because Mondays mean only one thing here at Shoewawa: Mary Janes!
This week we have another bumper edition of Mary Jane Monday for you, kicking off with this colourful offering from Topshop, which mixes black, blue and pink to dramatic effect. These are called 'Shake', they're £50, and look a little too like a child's drawing of a shoe for me, but if you like them, you can buy them at Topshop.
Of course, if you don't like them, just click on the image to open the gallery and see some more Monday Mary Janes!
What's the only thing better than a beautiful pair of Mary Janes? Five beautiful pairs of Mary Janes, of course, which is why we're giving you five whole pairs to admire on this Mary Jane Monday, rather than just one.
Take a look under the jump to see some more styles, kicking off with my favourites, these nude patent platform Mary Janes by Yves St. Laurent.
