Shoes can make or break an outfit. Some people view shoes as simply an accessory, but it is my belief that they are quite the contrary. Shoes can be the roots of an outfit: the staple that the remainder of the outfit is created around. They elevate an ensemble from so-so to down right fabulous. It was my pleasure to research today's story; indulging in the beautifully crafted things that cover my feet?---twist my arm!
1. Jeffrey Campbell Shy Town Wedges: The words the come to mind: OVER. THE. TOP. When I found out that Jeffrey Campbell was making a Chicago exclusive shoe for Lori's, I was filled to the brim with excitement! I would wear these shoes with just about anything: the turquoise paired with neutral khaki make me swoon, and the suede wedge blueprint make this shoe my all time summer favorite. I can't wait to strut down State Street that Great Street in my "Shy Town" showstoppers.
2. Sam Edleman Warren Heel: Fringe? The answer to that question is always YES PLEASE. This western inspired shoe will absolutely make your feet stand out among the crowd. Perfect for a night out, these rodeo kickers will look incredible with a stunning pair of black high waisted shorts and a neon yellow cropped tank. Sam Edleman's Warren heels beg the question: "Do you know the way to San Jose?"
3. Tory Burch 'Tatum' Platform Sandal: "Come on baby, light my fire..." Tory Burch's 'Tatum' sandal will heat up any summer evening! Brights have been a major trend this season, so why not run with it?---(WAIVER: I would not recommend running in these four-inchers though, result: a three stoodge-esque wipe out). Slapstick humor aside, the candy apple red and gold hardware of these platform sandals would look like simple perfection with summer white denim or a flowy print dress (read as: win/win situation.)
4. Chloe Platform Sandal: Extreme platform wedge + ankle wrapped tie + tawny leather + anchoring studs = an equation for sartorial genius. The Chloe platform sandal is a summer necessary object, and this object of my affection would complete any warm weather look. Initially when I saw this shoe, I immediately thought denim, but after taking a longer look (aka drooling), I imagined this shoe with lace. A dress of lace confection would be rooted by the heavy platform and hardware studs, resulting in a darling summer pairing.
