Inspiration - Lauren Conrad
My first instinct to finish a traditionally casual outfit like this plaid shirt and jeans would be to put on some outdoorsy boots and grab a very casual bag. But in the inspiration photo Lauren Conrad made the unexpected additions of sky high YSL Tribute heels and a feminine white Balenciaga bag. I think the ability to mix disparate elements like masculine/feminine, casual/dressy or expensive/inexpensive adds so much interest to what you're wearing and is a big sign of confidence in your personal style.
(Recap from my post here about the knockoff heels I'm wearing: The shoes I bought at Bebe - maybe 7 years ago - and am totally in love with. When I bought them I had no idea they were pretty exact YSL knockoffs. I've worn them to death. The heels are so worn out I sound like a metal peg leg when I walk. I think you can have that repaired? Really wish Bebe would sell them again because every year since I bought these YSL has repeated their Tribute style that almost looks identical and I don't have $800 laying around to buy the originals.)

Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYep you can have the shoes fixed. Super easy but do it before the heel wears down and is damaged! Just take to a cobbler and they put new rubber tips on. --Anne
