So anyone that knows me, knows I have an unnatural love of shoes. Bright, dark, tall, short, sporty, dress...it really doesn't matter; if it fits my foot I will buy it and find a use for it later. As my collection continues to skyrocket every time I leave my apartment I have been inspired by similar blogs that do "1 Shoe 7 Ways" sorts of stories to wear my entire collection. I have decided that a "100 Days of Shoes" series might help quench my shoe thirst and possibly get me to slow my roll on new purchases and actually allow me to enjoy my current collection...although since I have more then 140 pairs I know picking just 100 will be awful for me!....so here it goes :)
The first day of this journey starts off with a simple yet iconic pair of vintage brown leather Bally dress shoes. I love these shoes for their classic look and slight heal that gives it a little something different. The braided leather accent is one of my favorite Bally designs. The leather on these shoes ages beautifully and they look better every time I wear them. I love adding a pop of color to my outfits; so the brown with dark plaid pant was really not doing it for me so I had to throw in some bright teal socks to offset the norm. I got these shoes at one of my favorite second hand stores, Le Frock, in Seattle.
To go with the shoes I wore dark brown plaid pants from Zara (Boston), a brown Coach belt (Boston), a black Armani T (Atlanta) and a heavy zip up sweater from Zara (Spain). It's not all about labels, it's how you wear them. I tend to spoil myself for working hard so this blog will be filled with a lot of labels I have collected during my travels around the world, but a label means nothing if you don't know what your personal style is and how to use it!
Here's to the next 99 Days friends!!!!
[YES! This is a revamp of my old blog :)]
