Show Me the Shoes: Because Everyone Needs Purple Suede Booties, Right?

Posted on by

For me, 2023 is all about being a little extra. I love a statement piece, especially jewelry, but a fierce pair of heels or booties can totally transform an outfit. While I do love a classic black, gray, or camel boot as a neutral for a variety of looks, let’s talk about these:

SHOP: Making a Statement booties in purple @Versona (on sale: $29.99, available in sizes 6-10).

I love the bright purple hue, as well as the thick heel & scrunched look at the ankle. I can imagine these dressing up a tunic sweater & leggings, as well as a button-down & skinny jeans. However, they will also work with a sweater dress & hoop earrings, along with a jumpsuit & blazer combination. While the heels are not available in wide width, they are currently marked down from their original $44.99 price tag, which makes them much more tempting to order. We’ll see…

Would you wear purple booties like these? How would you style them? Where are you shopping for great deals on footwear?

Show Me the Shoes: Day-to-Night Summer Sandals!

Posted on by

When it comes to fashion & function, I try my best to have as few outfit changes in a day so that what I wear to start the day is what I’m wearing to end the day, unless, of course, there is a special occasion to take into consideration; however, comfortable & stylish footwear for the summer should not be compromised when it comes to leading a busy life. As a Style Darling mom on-the-go, I am usually sporting something a little flashier (meaning, blingier) than average, which keeps me happy, but also ensures that I’ve invested in a piece that I really care about. For example, for a flat sandal, why not go metallic for the everyday, so that it can easily transition from a daytime affair, such as a family gathering or carnival, to a nighttime event, like a wedding or cocktail party. Adding a metallic to a sandal can go a long way in getting your money’s worth & here are some options to consider for not only work, but also for play:

SHOP: Journee Serlinda sandal in gold metallic, rose gold, silver metallic, & black @DSW (available in sizes 6-12, $49.99).

SHOP: Out of Office sandals in silver, natural, & mutli @Versona (available in 5.5-8.5, $12.99-$29.99).

SHOP: Betsey Johnson Jamari sandals in multi snake, black multi, & gold-tone multi @Macy’s (available in sizes 5-11, on sale: $47.40).

I love all of these options to match with a maxi dress & fringed shawl or romper & crossbody bag, especially with the play on colors & patterns that make summer the most vibrant & fashionable season!
