Coral & Cobalt

When I was styling accessories to pair with this bright & cheery Vineyard Vines dress, I wanted to push the envelope a little bit. My first choice for shoes was my go-to pair of nude ankle-strap heels from Zara. Remember them from last summer? Wore them over and over and over again. (Proof: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight)

Don’t get me wrong, I loved the dress paired with a simple nude sandal. (And I would highly recommend that combo for any upcoming weddings this season!) But I just felt like doing something a bit more unexpected… So I went with these cut-out cobalt sandals. I like how the lattice print kind of repeats itself in the dress and in the shoes.

    I love this combination! I have a pair of coral pumps that I’m wearing with pretty much everything now, but it’s good to know I’m not crazy.

    It’s always fun to do an unexpected shoe as opposed to something safe!

    Love the cobalt sandals! I totally get what you’re saying- nude sandal would look fab, but the cobalt gives it a little something extra. What a great shoe! Think I need to snag a pair too 😉

    It’s so easy to reach for the simple shoes, but I love that you added something unexpected! This motivates me to switch up my usual neutral colored shoe tendencies!

    Gosh, I just LOVE the bright cobalt blue against the coral!! Gives a touch of edge to an otherwise girly dress, and I love it 🙂

    Hi! Hi! Shoes? Perfection.

    I have a random question – how tall are you? I only ask because i get all smitten with some of your outfit posts featuring pants and don’t know how you find such perfect inseam lengths. Especially Gap brands, do you buy Petites? Talls? Info would be stellar!

    Great color combo! I especially love your dress, is has such a beautiful cut and print
