Yes we're shoe-crazy here at wearability. So is it a gladiator sandal, which I once called the trend that should die? Or is it the more recent cage trend sparked by YSL's beauties?
I'm hoping these sandals I got from urbanoutfitters.com yesterday (in taupe, down to $39.00 from $58.00) are in a class all their own. I'm looking forward to how comfy they look--hope there's still enough summer left for me to wear them.
I was browsing the Urban Outfitters site for dresses. What do you guys think of the following?
Dark Red Scooped Brushed Dress $40 (or a similar V-neck dress which is only $20)
As a side note - I like that they have user reviews on the fit and the wear. That's helpful, esp for online shopping :)
Talk about working under pressure! At about 1am I chanced across this note from jensmccabe on twitter:
@slimmette have ultimate challenge. Need weekend ensemble. Stat. Must be deliverable via overnight. Not too girly shirt; good w/jeans?
It was sent on 5/5 (mmyeah I rarely check twitter or FB) so I had quite a bit of time to make up. I didn't even see the part where she said "not too girly shirt," plus I had no idea where she was going or the occasion. So I guess this ensemble isn't going to be perfect. Jen - next time leave a comment on Wearability and we'll get it right away!
Outfit 1: "Disjointed series No. 6" top from artlab. Rhombus earrings from polishedtwo. Kickass Report boots from 80spurple.com.
Outfit 2: Vintage secretary blouse from allencompany. Tudor yellowheart earrings from orno. Red Tatiana T-strap heels from UrbanOutfitters.com.
Whew--it doesn't even matter if Jen ends up wearing any of this, it was fun to put together =) I'm going to bed now.
They are having a free shipping special. I am a sucker for free shipping, and these are all on major sale.
1. Beaded bangle/cuff ($16.99 from $24.). Not much in the way of savings, but it's so purty.2. Paisley cotton rug ($30 from $68) I'm pretty much sure I'm going to get it because I've been eyeing it for a while (and yes I know it looks just like the fabric I bought).
3. Miss Sixty lace-up boot ($150 from $300). I love the way it looks but I don't know if my ankles can handle the 3.5" heel, or my wallet the hefty price.
4. Funky oxford ($30 from $88). Seems like a great deal, but I realize not everyone can pull off this vintage look.
5. Penguin trench with contrast trim ($125 from $295). Great deal too, but is it just me or is it not that well tailored around the waist?
6. Military band jacket ($50 from $88). I bet Garry would love this if they made one for men. It is like, oh-so-hipster.Thoughts/votes welcomed.
UPDATE: I decided against the cuff (I probably wouldn't end up wearing it and can get someting similar at Forever 21), the trench coat (poor-looking fit and unsure about the contrast trim), and the military band jacket (it's cool, but ultimately not my style).
I added the following items:
I plan to try everything on and probably return half the stuff. Yayyyy free shipping!
