I wish I was like Susie Bubble or Queen Michelle and were creatively complex with my outfit choices. Mismatched prints, layers, and unusual proportions excite me but when it comes to dressing for myself, I always end up in the least elaborate ensemble I can manage. As a way to circumvent my simplicity, I’m working on making my footwear more of a feature. These patent leather t-bar wedges aren’t the most shocking or unusual shoe, but they’re a good beginning.
Black Dress: American Apparel
Black T-Bar Wedges: Country Road
Perspex Necklace: Lola&Bailey from Alegorie
