Ensemble du Jour

The Outfit
Well, I bumped my toe over the weekend and had to redo my pedicure so I decided to go with a nice bright red. Since I do wear red polish all the time, I wanted to take advantage of it by wearing some super cute red shoes.

I'd have rather been wearing a cute red printed tee and a short white pleated skirt. But I have to be an adult and go to work, so I wore a white 3/4 sleeve v-neck and a white linen skirt.



I wanted to counterpoint the sweetness of the shoe with more Asian-influenced accessories. I'm wearing my Christmas gift birdy necklace along with a cinnabar bangle.



The Focal Point
My bright red pedicure influenced all the choices! These are my cute gingham and floral red and white sandals I got to wear with it.













I've had these for ages but I don't get to wear them all that often. Typically I wear them with cropped jeans but it was just too hot for that. I got them from Victoria's Secret a million years ago before they got totally trashed out. They're a little country but I just adored the mix of patterns and the ruffle-y strap across the toe!
