floral feast








Ok. So I caved and bought the Forever 21 Miu Miu inspired pumps – but I am glad I did because they are pretty darn awesome. And apparently all sold out at the moment (people are even selling pairs on eBay for over $100)! I am quite content with my $25 price tag thank you very much – a much better deal than the original $600. But besides their awesome shape and pattern, they make me monstrously tall and for that, I am delighted. When I was younger, I always wanted to be a little taller despite my 5’ 7” (and a half) stature, and these go above and beyond my wildest dreams. They are so fun to pair with different patterns (obviously my favorite thing to do), and help give this long 50s inspired skirt a new kick. I might have to walk a little slower than normal, but it’s totally worth it. Trust me!

  6. Aw, this outfit is just lovely! And you had me fooled about the shoes for a bit. Not being american or having access to f21 I just assumed that you in your usual awesome way must have the originals! Way to be thrifty!

  24. I love your outfit! It is so cute and I love the different prints paired together. I like that the skirt is colorful and the rest of the outfit black and white. Great shirt! The back is so cute and it is surprising.

  25. Aghhhh, the shoes are beautiful (and they look super cute with that skirt)!! I'd love to have a Forever 21 around the corner to go buy them (or at least order them).
    At 5'3, I need all the height I can get :P

  30. I love this outfit! Those shoes are incredible - the shape is a perfect copy of the Miu Miu ones. And so much more affordable, too! (Which is great considering they're not the most practical shoes to wear everyday, so you wouldn't really be getting your money's worth with the more expensive pair.) I wish I had thought to get myself to a Forever 21 to snap these up!

    Love the look you paired them with, as well....the socks are perfect for fall (I've been seeing the socks + shoes trend everywhere!!), the skirt is the perfect length to balance the high heel, and the lace back on the top is genius!!
