So I’ve had these Toms Chukka booties since 2 Scarlet Threads sales back, and they’ve yet to make it on my feet until today. I scoured Pinterest for a bit this morning, in search of outfit inspiration and actually came pretty dang close to the image I liked the most. My issue with them, I think, is that they’re so specific! I believe they’re made of jute, and have an espadrille-like heel, so they’re definitely geared toward summer pairings, but they require socks which makes my feet get all warm, and something about the print seems to clash easily with a lot of things. I think they work well with the outfit I came up with, but they rubbed against my heels all day (the end result I’m sure will be a blister), so I will inevitably be putting them back in the pile for Scarlet Threads for them to go to a new home in July. I’m sure someone out there can make them work!
For the rest of the look, I wanted to keep it texturally interesting, with the help of this gathered t-shirt from Elizabeth & Clarke. From previous posts, you probably already are aware that I’m a bit obsessed with this olive jacket, so that was a no-brainer. I added some antiqued gold bangles and a tassel necklace from Elizabeth Stone and I was all set to go to lunch and do a little light shopping with the boyfriend.. I’ll spill the beans.. We stopped in to Nordstrom and I picked up my very first Rebecca Minkoff bag.. Two of them, in fact! They were deeply discounted and I had a $20 off Nordstrom note, AND it’s triple points weekend. Triple score!
Side note, I totally didn’t notice until editing these that when my pup came over to see what I was doing he dropped a piece of his toy near me. Oops! I love my dogs 😀
