Thanks, Shannon.
Well, what I'd REALLY like are those very cool nude sandals that Nancylee posted a few days. So, you see....more urban, hip, edgy.
These don't feel that way.
On the other hand, those extremely cool sandals that Nancy posted are not as easy to wear for my work-at-home, MOTG, very casual life (especially my summer life). The fanciest it gets is drinks on a restaurant patio with hubby. Know what I mean? And Kingston is not exactly a major urban centre. I'm all for challenging the environmental norm (and have no problem whatsoever doing so). But I need to do it in some kind of comfort.
The other issue is that the very cool sandals Nancy posted would not go so well with the two summer dresses I just bought! They'd go well with a few I already have in my closet, but not with my new Cleo dress or the Mexx dresses. Then again, these Borns do not look great with one of the Mexx dresses, either, LOL! That dress needs a grey or black sandal to anchor it, I think.
Anyway...there it is. I think my style direction is towards a more minimalist tailored aesthetic. Still with some retro touches, but I suspect a different kind of retro.
This style direction stuff is hard. I definitely have not honed down my rubric yet. Or figured out how to blend my style aspirations with the life I actually live.
