Black beauties

Shoesday is the new black, sometimes all you need is a fun black pump.

Can I get an "amen" on the last two pairs?

Wearing: a hot date

Hot date, hot dress.

The perfect balance of sparkly but not New-Years-Eve-gone-wrong sparkly, this sweet number was a sweet deal. Probably the sweetest deal I've ever scored. Marked down to a slim (okay, anorexic) 5 dollars, I couldn't pass up this loose, party in the back, amber tiger striped shift dress. Just couldn't.

The strappy happy sandals, which I failed to get a close-up of, are a wonderful addition to my shoe collection. Love the braided straps. 

So goes my Saturday night, a romantic evening with my main squeeze. And probably too much wine.

Dress: Urban Outfitters (clearance)
Sandals: Colin Stuart with Victoria's Secret
Clutch: Zara (love this one)
Necklace: Stella & Dot

You can be my best fran

These colorful string bracelets are bringing me back to my summer camp days and my beloved, exquisite string box that I treasured. I was quite the friendship bracelet factory - trading and bartering like they were going out of style. Clearly they're not.

Come September or October, my stacked wrist of bracelets (representing my friends, of course) were gray and matted so my mother would cut them off in my sleep. Then, I pouted and cried. Now, I thank you mom.

A bright summer accessory that is beautifully D.I.Y. I'll probably just B.U.Y.

Wearing: Leather in summer

It's almost-officially-basically summer and what do I do? Slap on a leather skirt. Totally normal.

Kind of biker gone tribal, no? The sandals, first featured in May, happily clash with the necklace. To be honest, which I always am, I grappled with the idea of wearing the shoes and neck-wear together. I'm more of a one statement at a time kind of girl. Enter the simple gray muscle tee to help water it all down..

  • Gray muscle tee: Topshop
  • Leather skirt: Forever 21 (another option)
  • Necklace: Forever 21 (similar here)
  • Sandals: H&M
  • Sunglasses: Ray-Ban

Some tassels

Not for those two things, for your other two things! Feet, guys. Feet.

I'm sandal crazy these days, I feel like I need a total revamp of my sandal collection and I might just start with a pretty tasseled pair. Happy Shoesday, Wearists.
