sky high.

skirt: calme, cardigan: gap, shoes: jessica simpson, tee: express, belt: f21, earrings & ring: grecian, bodysuit: american apparel, sunglasses: ray-ban

i've been wanting these shoes for about a year and i FINALLY purchased them! needless to say, i'm beyond excited to have them as a part of my shoe collection. i decided to wear them with my most comfortable maxi skirt and this great leopard belt. for those of you who don't have a leopard belt, i highly recommend buying one - i find myself throwing it on over everything!

btw - who else is ready for summer? i could really use a sun dress, the beach, and a mojito!

stayfabulous,
zarna

pancakestacker said...: Zarna, I JUST got those shoes too! I ordered them earlier this week and can't wait to get them in the mail. They were on sale for half on and I had to stop myself from buying two pairs! So, I just got the black one, haha. How much do you love them?? I'm a little afraid of the 5.75 heel height! Hopefully it's not as bad as it sounds.

Al said...: I love your new shoes!! They really suit your style.

And the belt is really a good idea! I am about to buy leopard flats, I know it's not the most original thing in the world but I think that a leopard accessory can really change an outfit!

A big kiss

Ayanna Michelle said...: Those shoes are everything I need in my life. Jessica Simpson's line is so great. We have so many of her coats in our house it's crazy! I have a leapord belt (well, it's my mom's but our closets are kind of interchangeable) and it's big so I only wear it when I KNOW I can pull it off with out looking as if I'm trying too hard. I AM INDEED READY FOR SUMMER!!! Lol. Lovely as always darling.
