I walked a thousand miles that day. Just kidding .. I didn’t walk a thousand miles in these. But these shoes are surprisingly comfortable for having such a high heel. I think the wrap ties help keep them tight and walkable. And they’re extremely feminine and reminds me of ballerina shoes. I also love this shift dress. It’s so comfortable, and I love pairing it with a denim jacket. Tying it around my waist gives me an accentuated waistline but is also perfect for having a jacket handy now that the weather is getting cooler and the sun sets faster.
Have you guys heard of the shoe & bag theory? I’ve read about it once a long time ago, but ever since then I’m a believer. The shoe and bag theory goes that when you have amazing accessories it will immediately elevate your entire outfit. That’s why I love saving on my outfits and splurging on my shoes and bags…it can make all the difference. (See my post on the 5 essential bags you need in your closet and you’ll know what I mean.) What do you guys think? True story or an urban myth?

Trends I'm Loving Right Now
While I'm always hopping from trend to trend there are three in particular that has totally captured my heart (and closet) this season.
I absolutely agree! It always throw me off when I see a nice outfit and the shoes just don’t go with it. Accessories are definitely the finishing touch on any given outfit.

Very cool Chriselle. But how safe it is to wear such high heels while pregnant?

I guess the chunky heel also adds to the comfort. So pretty Chriselle!

I absolutely agreee with you! A good bag or a pair of shoes can elevate any outfit, even the simplest one. And these are also the first things you look at (at least as for me). With that being said, I like to invest in a nice quality bag or a pair of shoes that will serve me a long time.
P.S. Love the dress you’re wearing! Quite simple but looks really cool 😉

I am a true believer in investment handbags. when I was in university I would spend more money on higher end bag then I did clothes. Today, I am building my investment shoe collection. Any must haves on your list Chriselle?
It’s such a bonus when great looking shoes are actually comfortable to wear, too. I really love the look you put together here, not only with the shoes and handbag, but the casual denim wrapped around your striped dress. Perfect!

When I was much younger I hated handbags. I always carried a knapsack or no bag at all as it was just an unnecessary luggage and my hands would be left full. Till now, I still prefer huge bags which I carry into the office, drop and then carry when I’m on my way home. I love shoes though and I guess that has rubbed off on my love for bags, lol.
So I can totally relate. But in my books, it’s a ratio of 50:50 to True story and urban myth *runs off*
