Planning an outfit around shoes…

I have always been fond of shoes.  Normally, I buy neutral, complimentary and once in a while a bright pair of shoes.    Recently on our family shopping trip to Settle (yes, its one of the many perks of living in Vancouver) I totally fell in love with a beautiful, stylish pair of round-toed loafers by Lewit at Nordstrom.  It was one of those have to have moments for me.

It wasn’t until I was in the car on the drive back that I panicked. I now own these beautiful things but how will I wear them? What will I wear them with?  The fabric and the colors were absolutely stunning but how to style them?  I do love fashion for this reason.  It gets your creative juices flowing.

As much as I love color and patterns it would be only fair to let the shoes be the highlight.  I wanted to really feel good about wearing this well crafted beautiful pair of loafers. Here is what I came up with.

Two basic staple monochromatic pieces from my closet including a cream sleeveless top and a grey pair of cropped pants were the starting point.   The cropped pair of pants really draws attention to the shoe.

I definitely needed to layer for our slightly cooler spring weather and also to add a bit more color and interest to the outfit.  I happened to own this gorgeous moto jacket from Banana Republic that I purchased not too long ago.  (What a great feeling to take pieces from your closet and put them together). 

If you ask me I would tell you I don’t have a favorite color.  I love to wear every color under the sun. Yet, around this time of the year, I get so drawn to lovely pastels with grey.

Of course, nothing like a lovely necklace to tie everything together.  

When an outfit makes you smile and (feel) alive…its done its job!!

I am so excited for other options for these shoes,  I might come up with soon..maybe even some textures to compliment the floral pattern of the shoe.

(A special thank you to Sajiography for these wonderful photos. Throughly enjoyed working with her. )

Nordstrom is currently having their half yearly sale and here are some similar options for you to consider.
