Recently I was invited to take part in a competition involving shoes. Anyone who knows me knows what I am like when it comes to footwear so it should be no surprise that I was more than willing to participate in this little challenge set by the folks at Duo Boots
I was sent a gorgeous pair of shoes to style up for this blog post, to style twice in fact- for a daytime look and again for a night/evening one. I chose a pair of sandals from the gorgeous selection on the website, and what I love most about Duo is that you can select from a range of widths- as someone with feet more like flippers this is a real bonus! I opted for this pair which really are so lovely, made from super soft leather and with the metallic heel, which is the perfect height for all occasions. Duo may seem on the pricey side but I’ve invested before and I will invest again just for the knowledge that the shoes or boots I go for will be tailored to fit my feet…you can’t put a price on quality and comfort!
For my day time look I pulled out my old faithful denim midi skirt from Zara which was a sale steal a few years ago, I think it cost me something like £3.99. I’ve almost got rid of it countless times but I’m glad it’s still in my wardrobe as it’s one of the easiest pieces I own to style and with that Primark Bambi tee that everyone (and their dog) has it made, in my opinion a perfect pairing with the sandals.
For my night time look I decided to debut this gorgeous Lavish Alice giraffe print dress which I was sent a couple of weeks ago. Easily my current favourite dress right now and exactly what I would wear on a night out teamed with some statement jewellery like this gold necklace from Jon Richard and some stacked bracelets from New Look. I’ll be doing a post with more photos of this dress soon as I just can’t get enough of it, but you can see how wonderfully it works with the shoes- the heel matches the jewellery and now I’m just awaiting a reason to wear this exact outfit on an evening out.
How would you have styled these sandals? What do you think of my looks? Click on any of the images to enlarge them.
Love the giraffe dress!
You look stunning here, the outfits are both gorgeous but I think the nighttime one is my favourite!
