OOTD: Feeling Kick-y

This morning, I woke up determined to show my legs to the world (I've got them. Really. I swear. I just wear pants everyday like a man.). On went a lovely navy Rachel Pally dress, and a sky high wedge (but of course) but when I stepped outside, I felt compelled to turn right back around and put on something that felt a little less committal for a Friday (and a dreary, rainy Friday at that). Off went the Rachel Pally (it was abandoned like a jersey carcass on my bedroom floor, if we're being honest), and on went my go-to during Spring/Summer months, the classic white jean.

I also reached into the depths of my closet and pulled out the lovely Alexander Wang Rocco bag, which I haven't worn in about a year. While it's a bit of a bear to carry (handheld or crook of elbow only, and quite heavy), it's a lovely light-medium gray and the perfect neutral to tone down a bright top like the silk chiffon Tibi tunic seen above.

Head to toe, here's what I've got on:

• Ray-Ban Wayfarers
• Tibi Embellished Tunic via Beacon's Closet
• Yummie Tummie Strappy Tank
• Seven for All Mankind Second Skin Legging Jean in Clean White
• Aldo for Julian Louie Sobeslava Wedge
• Lia Sophia Cuff & Swarovski Intervale Jet Bangle
• Alexander Wang Rocco Mini Duffle Bag (Black available here)

Shoe of the Day: ALDO for Julian Louie Sobeslava Wedge

My love of wedges is much like my love of pyramid studs - it's, at this point, expected of me, not a surprise to anyone, etc. etc. But even I didn't expect to fall so madly, deeply and truly in love with the ALDO for Julian Louie Sobeslava Wedge.

This graphic, structured wedge is nothing short of an architectural marvel, with a towering 5-inch wedge, including a 1-inch platform. Surprisingly, the shoe stays walkable, though I did insert a Killer Kushionz insert from Foot Petals to add some comfort to what would otherwise be an entirely unforgiving insole.

The African-inspired print on the Sobeslava wedge is SUPER fierce, and garners a TON of attention on the street. Warning: this shoe is NOT for wallflowers.

Snag the Sobeslava wedge at an Aldo store near you (but move fast, I snagged the last pair in store!) or online for $125.
