1) It's something I could actually wear
2) The cut-out in the front. It isn't really risque, but it's intriguing and fun
3) The seam on the back of the dress at the waist. Can we say flattering?
4) The sleeves. They are so different.
It's a Zac Posen. He did a good job.
Ben asked me why I love shoes so much. In light of what inspired him to ask the question, I had to think hard. His inspiration, of course, was my shoe purchase just moments prior -- a new pair of blush colored pumps in snakeskin with a matte finish. And as crazy as it sounded, my response to him seemed completely logical to me. It’s not so much that I love them as I find that wearing the right shoe with something is necessary. I don’t love them. I need them. It’s beyond love, my love.
How could one need blush heels that cost $140?? Let me tell you.
I have a wedding to go to. The bride’s colors are pink and green accented with black. I just so happen to have a black skirt that has embroidery on it with pink and green, with which I normally wear a pink top with a green jacket. Perfect! But then I run into shoe trouble.
1) I normally wear matte black leather pumps with this outfit. And for a summer wedding in August, black, chunky closed-toe pumps are too wintry.
2) I can’t wear black flats either, as I am too short to be able to pull off the look of the outfit without heels.
3) Other, cheaper blush-colored shoes are patent leather varieties, which are too shiny and showy for my outfit that is less polish-y and somewhat understated.
4) Blush is the quintessentially perfect color to match my outfit, accommodate the summer season, and fill in as a versatile shoe for a myriad of other outfits in my wardrobe. Can we say
“excellent interview shoe”? J They’re so on trend, and yet still timeless.
5) Who can say no to snake-skin in blush??
I needed these shoes…. just like I needed those incredibly expensive silver glitter shoes for the wedding last year. It’s not my fault people keep getting married.
