So Diner en Blanc is less than three weeks away, and while I might not have it all together (like if any of the four outfits that are currently being expressed shipped to my doorstep will work), I do know a thing or two about how to enjoy it. Last year was my first year at DEB, so I was really just making some educated guesses about how to make the night as successful as possible. But this year, I’m taking what I learned and making a few changes in my process – and, sharing with you, of course. The majority of these tips were written by me a few days after DEB 2013 and have been sitting in my blog drafts ever since, so you know they’re the real deal.
{Currently Crushing} Spring & Summer Sandals
Growing up, I was never a big shoe person. I would rather take a pretty dress over a pair of heels any day. Shoes were just never my favorite – My feet get hot. I’m not good with heels. Flats rubbed on the backs of my ankles. My complaints were never ending.
My lacking shoe game never really effected my life until recently. Working in a casual corporate office, you see all types of footwear. But when I wanted to really impress for a big meeting, rotating through my two pairs of Aerosoles sandals (one nude, one black) was just not cutting it.
This year, I’ve been hit with the spring & summer shoe and sandal “bug.” I’m ready to take Philadelphia by storm and actually be able to pair my cute summer clothing investments with shoes that are not flip flops or Sperrys. In the past few weeks, I’ve picked up quite a few pairs online (Mom & Dad, stop reading now please) and I can’t wait to wear them somewhere outside my apartment.
Jack Rogers Navajo Sandal in Gold I have been lusting after these babies for years, and they are finally mine! I’m kind of in love.
Clarks Shira Danika High Heel Sandal in Black
Who knew Clarks made such pretty yet comfy sandals? Now you do.
JustFab Nori Sandal in Snake
I am a biiiig JustFab fan. The verdict is still out if these will rub my ankles, but so far, so good.
Matisse Hayes Sandal in Silver & Tan
I am currently wearing these as I type (in my apartment). They are seriously gorgeous in person.
Payless Women’s Canvas Sneaker in Navy & Light PinkI got these to balance out the sandal additions, and because I’ve been wanting Keds forever, but these were $16.99.
