one outfit, two pairs of shoes

Today I was indecisive on my shoes. I wanted to wear my floral heels to add some color to the outfit, but knew I would be running errands later, so I brought some sandals along as well. So I just took photos with both pairs of shoes!

And the sandals:

Anthropologie top (old, slightly similar here) | Brandy Melville skirt (similar) | GUESS sandals (old) | Anne Klein heels (similar) | Ray-Ban sunglasses | Michael Kors watch

wear now, wear later: animal print loafers

One of the best ways to get the most out of your wardrobe is to have some items that will carry you through multiple seasons. With summer sandals and fall boots, sometimes it can be difficult to wear shoes that can be worn in both times of the year. Flats are an exception - they work year-round! With loafers emerging as an upcoming trend, I put together two outfits with Betsey Johnson zebra-printed loafers.

Summer:

I love the colors in this outfit! The wild, black and white print on the shoes allows for some playfulness in the rest of the outfit. I chose bright pink chino shorts and colorful jewelry with a printed bag to accompany the plain shirt and shorts.

Fall:

Take a cue from the turning leaves and put oranges and deep reds into the mix! Since the loafers are printed, I decided to play around with color and texture in the rest of the outfit. The leather skirt plays up the edge from the animal print, but the collar necklace and knit beret soften the look. Add some over-the-knee socks and a fashion-forward watch, and the outfit is complete!

Which look do you like better? How do you stretch items from your wardrobe through different seasons?
