Going back to the '60s Derby Day inspo, the Jean Shrimpton image in particular has been playing on repeat in my mind - part of the reason I was so excited about these shoes. Wearing them with a swingy mini dress kind of makes one want to skip around like Twiggy and pretend it's groovy London. Yeah baby.
I've been coveting these Nicholas Kirkwood's for months and they finally went on sale! Though the stripes are a bit trendy, I often find that I get the most long-term wear out of my more "out-there" statement shoes. Doesn't hurt that the heel height is extremely reasonable. B thinks they look like WWI dazzle camouflage!
Though it's nice to have a rainy night as an excuse to cozy up in front of the internets, I'm still daydreaming about warmer days. This was what I wore last Friday for the lovely luncheon at Tysons Fairfax Square. This rain better not last all weekend...
