Memorial Day stripes














A pair of heels recently bit the dust and when out shopping this weekend, these wedges caught my eye. They're tall but easy to walk in and remarkably comfortable - the perfect work, dinner, dress-up, date, and dress-up shoe. The wedge is the most versatile of shoes. I love the staple pieces in this wardrobe - striped top, solid-color mini, leather jacket, and patent wedge. As for the jewelry, my boyfriend bought me the pearl necklace at a maritime museum and I found the silver ring antiquing. I love them both and they'll certainly be appearing in many of these posts. 

What are your must-have wardrobe staples?

Jacket: The Limited (similar); Top and skirt: H&M; Wedges: JC Penney; Necklace: Columbia Maritime Museum shop; Ring: found antiquing

  1. Great wedges. I agree with you: they're surprisingly comfortable.

    The jacket adds pizzazz to the outfit. A nice touch of masculine energy.

  7. Wedges are my FAVORITE type of heel. These black ones are super cute! I am loving how you toughened the look up a bit with the leather jacket- something I would definitely do myself!
