Sometimes, certain clothing items are just not meant to be in my wardrobe. Like these sandals. I bought them last August in New Mexico, because they were $4, and they were super cute. Since it was the end of summer, I didn't wear them very many times. This year, I've tried to wear them on a few occasions and changed my mind before I left the house. Something was off, and they weren't very uncomfortable. My mother-in-law has the same sandals, and she just cut off the back strap, so I thought I'd try it, too. I like the look of them, but the strap removal just made them more uncomfortable. Honestly, I think the arches in my feet are just too high for this type of sandal. Before I even went into work, I change into these wedges that were in my car from the previous day. Good thing they matched my outfit! I'm sad to say that I am breaking up with the Target sandals for good.
I'm jumping in on Sarah's "Pin to Real Life" challenge today. When I saw Chelsea's outfit, I was excited because I have the same dress! I thought I'd try the monochromatic look, so I added my blue shoes, belt, and purse.

I love this dress! I tried it on in the store but it didn't look good on me at all, but you look fabulous, I'm so jealous! =) I'm loving the monochromatic look too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great dress! I really like your monochromatic theme too. It reminds me of the water. Bummer about the sandals!
ReplyDeleteBummer. I have those same sandals in silver. I wore them so much last year, but this year feel like they don't go well with any of my dresses. Despite the sandal problems, this is a really pretty outfit!
ReplyDeleteGosh how frustrating! But good for you trying to make them work so many times!!! Love the styling of this dress :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you tried to make your sandals work, but such a bummer that they still aren't what you like/need/want. Booooo. I love your outfit, though! I tried this dress on at Target and REALLY wanted to like it, but it looked pretty awful on me :( I'll admire from afar on you! I love how you pulled out the cobalt with your belt, shoes, and bag - it looks great!
