We've been so busy with moving and getting settled that I haven't had time to do any shopping (which my husband will tell you is a good great thing) I've been itching to purchase some new items but for some reason my normal on budget thinking has gone straight out the window. Enter this "Wednesday Wish List - if money were no option" edition. That's okay though.. it's just a "wish list"... right?

What have you been jonesing for lately?

Pinspiration: Wedge Sneakers

 

Okay... so I need your help. I've been wavering on the wedge sneaker trend for a while. I bought a pair last year but ended up returning them after thinking I couldn't pull them off. But for some reason they've stayed on my mind. And after finding these clearance, I wanted to challenge myself to see if I could work them into my style. So where did I turn to get some inspiration? Pinterest of course! And I found a ton of ideas on how to wear this wedge sneaker trend. Let's take a look at some of my pinspiration....

Miranda Kerr shows us how it's done. Her leather leggings and cable knit sweater are an awesome pairing with her bright red kicks.

I figured there's no better time than spring to bust out these heeled shoes - I love the distressed cutoffs and slouchy tee this model opted for. Might be my new off duty look!

I plan on transitioning these into fall so I love the chunky knit, scarf & comfy jeans options this blogger styled. It looks so cozy!

I've got a full on obsession with leather pieces right now. This vintage tee/leather miniskirt combo would look amazing with any footwear - but I love the "street chic" vibe these wedge sneakers give this look

I practically live in black leggings and a sweater, no matter the occasion - spice up your outfit with a neutral pair of sneakers & a striped version like Naomi Watts' patterned pullover.

 This is the perfect combo of my favorite dressing up/dressing down option. The skirt & sparkly sweater add a dressy element to the casual tan sneakers yet the ensemble still looks effortlessly cool. Love!

 

What about you? Have you tried this trend out yet? I'm itching to wear my pair so bring on the inspiration!

Outfit Post: Prabal Gurung Sandals + Boyfriend Jeans



 

 

Prabal Gurung for Target Neon Sandals || Express Boyfriend Jeans (old - LOVE this pair & the price) || Oversized Sequin Sweater from Anat B  || GiGi New York Uber Clutch in Indigo c/o  || Stella & Dot, Max & Chloe & Banana Republic Bracelets

 

Okay.. this may be one of my favorite outfits. Ever. Yes, it includes the shoes that I went to extreme measures to find, but that's not the only reason :) It's the epitome of my best kept non-secret for putting an ensemble together. The perfect combination of 2 styles - casual and glam.

 

I'm not sure about you, but boyfriend denim is in a constant rotation in my wardrobe. And if you haven't tried it yet don't just dip your toes in. Dive in, head first, with at least 2 sets (dark wash and light rinse) This pair is usually my "casual" option since it's so light. Normally I'm sporting flats or loafers when I wear them. But something about these Prabal Gurung for Target sandals and my GiGi New York clutch just made me want to dress them up for a church day. Kept my "next-day" hair super messy (my favorite way to wear it) and topped it off with a sparkling sweater.

 

I really want to challenge you to try dressing down or dressing up one of your favorite pieces. It's so fun to play around with what you've got and discover a new way to wear something!
