    These are so ugly. If I saw someone wearing them on the Hill I would take a photo and send it to you as a fashion faux paux. What the hell would you wear with these?! Seriously…. trendy or not these are only cute on little girls- not grown women.

    Belle,

    I like these! I think they’re really cute… and sort of 1920’s! But what would you wear with them? Some kind of dress or skirt? I need ideas!

    I actually saw this on a educator on Monday. The look was one of two tone brown/tan and not black or navy/white. She
    wore them with dark brown slacks, simple two piece (cami and sheer over top) blouse and understated gold jewelry. They
    made the outfit. And after spending all day lecturing on her feet to over 250 students, her feet didn’t hurt.

You Have, You Need: Camel Sweater Edition

In the name of fiscal responsibility, I’m taking a shopping respite through the end of the year.  When you write a fashion blog, not shopping is like being a person on a diet who moves into a McDonald’s.  But I’m determined to flex some self-discipline now that my holiday shopping is done.

Add to Cart: Five Recent Amazon Purchases
