Pre-Bay OOTD

purple silk top by DVF
J.Crew rosette cardi
Off Fifth skirt
flats from Brazil

I wore this before I left for SF but never had time to post it. I paired it with my 3/4 length sleeve built in scarf MBMJ coat.


The Shoes were a purchase from Brazil.


And I realized later that they might be a little too close to some Christian Louboutin flats. Not exactly. But a little close.



The shoe industry in Brazil is pretty extensive but a lot of the boutiques and fancier stores had taken obvious inspiration from aspirational brands. I saw Brazilian-style Varinas, Revas, and Chanel-esque flats. And when I got home I saw the shoes that perhaps inspired the ones above. I feel a little mixed about them now but they are so comfortable and cute that I can't just not wear them.

BTW don't forget to email me (jesspgh at gmail dot com) your hardest working garments!

Those shoes are absolutely adorable!!! That's really interesting about the shoe industry in Brazil. I know what you mean about feeling a little funny wearing things that might be knockoffs but in all honesty, I did not even think of the Louboutins when I saw your shoes. Super cute!

Those flats are still some sort of fierce! And they're a fantastic memento from Brazil, what can be better? I love wearable souveniers!
