10th Commandment: July 30

Jul 30, 2010

A caged sandal is a gorgeous shoe for a night on the town.  In Summer, the shoe pairs perfectly with flirty summer dresses.  In Fall, you can add a nylon sock or pair it with a denim pencil and blazer.

    Love love love the Tracy Reese!

  2. A says:

    Cute sandals, but recommending socks with sandals?! Belle?!

  3. Belle says:

    A- Sheer socks(almost like nylons) in a fun color. Didn’t you see the runway shows or the J.Crew catalog?

  4. Bonnie says:

    No socks with sandals please. Just because they showed it on the runways doesn’t mean it’s a good look.

  5. Belle says:

    It’s amazing how reticent to even try something new people are. These are the same arguments people made about ankle boots, black and navy together, white after Labor Day and other trends. I think if you want a little something different, it’s a cute look but I am by no means arguing that it is for everyone.

  6. Stephanie says:

    Socks with sandals is not “something new.” It’s something inexcusable.

  7. Jamie says:

    I saw a girl on the street the other day pull off the sheer socks with sandals. Maybe not the most seasonally appropriate look.

    But, A) She didn’t seem to care
    And, B) Looked really awesome.

  8. Sorry! says:

    I have to say I disagree. Sorry Belle! Love your blog!

  9. EAC says:

    While I have seen come very cute socks/sandals combinations, I’m not sure I’d like them with the cage sandals pictured here. As much as I hate to admit it, love the Jessica Simpson pair.

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

Since my daughter was born, Amazon has claimed so much of my money that I had to buy stock just to get some of it back.  Between the formula, onesies, fruit pouches, diapers, wipes, and ever evolving list of baby development gear, I could not survive without Prime.   My husband no longer notices the […]
