I bought a new pair of sandals today and my white Dolce Vita cut-out oxfords arrived in the mail today. So I completed my shoe/sandal inventory and this is what I've come up with.
The new Blondo sandals (pic 1) are gorgeous and extremely comfortable. They will take a tiny bit of getting used to because I'm not used to this type of back on a sandal but other than that, fabulous. I think the combination of the dark cognac and the bone colour coupled with the style make them extremely versatile.
The Dolce Vita oxfords (pic 2 & 3) are not white, but a bone colour, which I actually prefer. I think that makes them a little easier to style with my wardrobe. Love the heel height and the longer toe. They are a nice wide shoe which fit positively perfectly. I have a slight worry about the way they rub on one spot on both shoes - I can feel the cut outs a bit. But I've already found the more I walk around the house with them, the softer they are getting. I believe they will be fab as well.
Both of the new items of footwear will be great and useful additions to my spring/summer shoe wardrobe.
Pic #4 is what I'm purging. I'm sad because I really love most of these but they are NOT comfortable either for my knee or for my foot and I'm choosing to have comfy feet over the look of a sandal.
My "aha" moment was noticing the sandals I'm purging are all chunkier with bigger and higher heels (or wedges) and are more colourful than what I'm keeping. As Angie had predicted when I bought my black kitten heel pointy toe pumps, I seem to be heading into more refined footwear. I wonder if this will change my style at all?
Pics #5-10 are what I now have in my closet for spring/summer. I think I might want one pair of colourful or silver/metallic sandals. Do you see any sandal holes?
If you got this far, thanks for looking and reading
P.S. pardon the bits of fluff on my floor in pics 1-3 - the kitty cats were playing with a piece of rope and there's bits of it EVERYWHERE!
