What’s your everyday look? Although I attempt to keep things fresh (but seriously, when will I realize that day dresses are a personal pipe dream?), I do have a mainstay ensemble combination that gets me through most days.
Blazer + Silk(y) Blouse + Denim + Flats = Happy, Stylish, and Comfortable
This is my personal style equation, and I’m a huge fan because you can really change up the vibe with different items from your closet.
Today, let’s talk about flats. Specifically, pointy-toe flats. (Is it “pointed” or “pointy?” A Google search sways me towards “pointed,” but I’ve always said “pointy.” Important issues, folks.) As you can see from my collection above, I have a thing for pointy-toe shoes. In the same way nude heels elongate the leg, pointy-toe shoes are a great way to add a little length to your overall silhouette. It’s like a mohawk for your feet, for reals.
The best thing about the current pointy trend is that the shape isn’t overly dramatic. Must I remind you of the the point from about 7-8 years ago? For crying out loud, people. How did I walk around without repeatedly tripping and face-planting? Glad we’re dealing with a much subtler shape this time around. Also, I am loving the d’Orsay style, as you can see in my roundup of favorites below.
1. Ankle Straps with Gold Detail, $60
2. Lucie Fabric Slingbacks, $248
5. Beatrice Ankle Strap Skimmer, $128
9. Dolce Vita Alpha Flat, $139
10. Camouflage Fabric Flats, $40

March 10, 2014 at 8:54 amOk seriously I love ALL of these!! As a girl who cannot wear any kind of high heel anymore (moment of silence please) I’m always looking for flats! Pointy toe or square. Pointy is my fave tho! Gotta go shopping now! ????

March 10, 2014 at 7:11 pmI laughed out loud at the “mohawk for your feet” thing.
Also? It’s TOTALLY POINTY TOE SHOES. PointED, who ever heard of such a thing? (Or maybe it’s an Okie thing?)

March 11, 2014 at 9:18 pmJust one question – call me stupid – but I have a bit of a problem with sweaty feet. Do you just wear no sock/liners? Or do you wear those liners? I have a hard time with those because they always show or they don’t stay on. Help!
