I finally got one of these. It has endless versatility in my wardrobe. I have played around with wearing this piece as a shawl, and even as a skirt fastened with a big pin. I love well-designed things that fulfill a need I didn’t know I had.
This is my go-to set shoe that I purchased which has become such a hero piece. It really makes some of my more elevated pieces relatable for daytime and they are absolutely 10,000-steps appropriate.
I have these in a patent but I kept getting white dust on them running around Paris and the Napa leather is going to be my permanent set shoe. This shoe is one of the most comfortable low-heeled ballerinas in the market. It’s time for basic black.
My friend kept asking me about a structured tee so I sent her a link to this one from Lii that is structured enough to wear in an extremely elevated way. I need to order one myself because I want to wear it with an evening skirt to the ballet.
This zip blazer has a cool origin story. I consulted on this brand for launch in September that offers elevated wardrobe staples in all sustainable fabrics. When Rheanna, the founder, told me she wanted to do a zip blazer, I told her I wanted the blazer when it was only a sketch. It’s such a beautiful fit.
