Ensemble du Jour

The Outfit

I'm pretty neutral today. It's raining again and I just wanted to be comfortable. I'm wearing a black boatneck dress Old Navy, a ethnic-inspired necklace and green slingbacks.



The necklace, I think, was actually from Target, and is made of seed pods. I think it's cool and has a lot of movement to it.



The Focal Point
These Jimmy Choo Thunder shoes are among the favorites in my closet. They fit really well and I like their height and the color. They are goat leather, I believe, and a great dark green



The accent piece on there is a horn toggle. I used that to choose the necklace I wore today.





These poor shoes actually have encountered some hard times. I very stupidly injured the leather on the heel of one of the shoes. Then, one of the previous times I wore them I looked down at the end of the day and noticed that the metal cap on the horn toggle had fallen off!


But how is this for customer service. I called my contact at the Jimmy Choo store in Orlando to ask if there was any way possible to track down a replacement piece. In spite of these shoes being over a year old, they found one for me and shipped it to me! Amazing, huh?!?

I still have yet to fix this little piece and I have to see if my shoe guy can fix the tear on the heel. They're so pretty, it makes me sad to see them in less than perfect condition.
