This is where you really get to see the beauty of these amazing TaylorSays pumps! I immediately fell in love when I saw these shoes online and I knew I had to have them! My sister was so amazing and got them for me for Christmas. Was a glorious present. Once I got them however, I was nervous about actually wearing them because I didn't want to ruin the beautiful painted bottoms.

So I contacted TaylorSays to see if they sold sole protectors so that the design could still be seen, but wouldn't get ruined. They told me they didn't sell them but I could get them on Amazon. Of course I went and ordered some immediately, but once I got them I kept them in a drawer for a bit and just let the shoes decorate my room, still nervous about the soles.

Finally about a month ago I decided I needed to get those soles protected so I could show these beauties off! I got them all squared away and then gently stepped outside to try it out. Luckily enough the sole protectors worked perfectly and have continued to work effectively no matter what type of ground or floor I have walked on. I am so glad that those worked out because the shoes are so fun and extremely comfortable!

Got get your own piece of artwork for your feet! They deserve it!

Nude Dress

Outfit Details:

dress: H&M

belt: Forever 21

shoes: Taylor Says

bracelet: Latitudes Fair Trade

This is the first full outfit post with my new hair! I decided to go with a nude dress and pops of fun to really show the hair off. 

As for the pumps, I finally put the sole protectors on these amazing beauties, so this is their debut as well on the blog. The shoes are very comfortable, for their height and I just love the clouds and the painted bottoms (stay tuned for another outfit showing the bottoms off).  It is amazing how nicely this print actually goes with so many outfits! People doubted me when I first fell in love with them, but I am convinced that they were what my shoe wardrobe needed to change up the black pumps that line my shelves. 

Do you have a favorite pair of fun pumps that happen to go with any outfit magically?

Time to Wear White

Do you really have to follow the rule: Only wear white after Memorial Day and until Labor Day?

Personally I don't think you do. As always in fashion there are exceptions to the rules. For example a winter white pant suit or just the pants paired with a slouchy sweater can be the perfect winter outfit to feel fresh and not dulled down by the dreary weather.

When there are too many rule, fashion can seem harder than it has to be; so the best way to decided when to wear what is to look at your outfit and ask:

Do these fabrics add the much needed warmth to brave the weather outside?

Does this outfit make some sense (even if it is hidden logic)? 

Is it flattering to my figure? Or does the outfit make me want to hide under the covers?

All these questions will help to guide you into knowing what white you can wear and when; which does not just apply to the color of the clothes, but the fabric and the fit as well--try to keep all of these in mind.
