Catching up on WIWs from this past week where our temps got up into the "comfortable for me" 90 degree range. Friday's outfit made its statement all via the necklace and shoes. The coral sweater was a "just in case I get chilly" topper and the tribal print woven bag tied the basic black and coral together.
The style statement was made via the sandals and scorpion necklace. I recently bought the sandals (I was looking for new sandals and these are probably the closest I'll ever get to the birkie-looking trend). The fact that they combined both spikes and leopard made them totally me.
They also make them in solid black, tan, and crackled white and I must say they are extremely comfortable with the cork footbed and are perfect for folks who have a narrower and low volume foot. I highly recommend them!
The sterling scorpion necklace is one of my rarer vintage designer pieces. It's late 70's/early 80's vintage Elsa Peretti for Tiffany & Co. Since it's a such a statement piece on its own I usually give it center stage, as is the case here, wearing it over a basic black tank top with EF harem pants.
