Now Trending: Mules

Okay so I know when you typically think of mules you're thinking of garden clogs or shoes for the "over 60" category. But I promise you these aren't your grandma's backless heels...

I'm kind of surprised by how attracted to this style I am but I have definitely gone from hate to love. For some reason, I just can't get the thought of a wide leather front and chunky heel out of my head. I think the best part about this 90's revival are the modern touches like laser cutouts, pointed toes or a splash of metallic. Lucky for you I've picked out some options that are sure to fit any one's budget. So what are you guys thinking about this style? Are you willing to try it or do you think you'll leave the mules of the world to Nana?

Outfit Post: Valentine Hearts + A Belk Giveaway!

 

Target Heart Print Graphic Sweater (last season - similar budget option at UO)

French Connection Electric Buzz Skirt c/o Belk (sold out online but available in stores or try this French Connection one)

Zara Strappy Heels (old - similar on sale at DSW)

Vince Camuto "Mila" Cross Body in Silver c/o Belk

 

Hello Monday and the start of Valentine's Week! Any excuse to dress up in pink and eat candy is certainly fine by me! Plus it's the perfect time to break out both my color block sandals and heart print sweater! :) After creating a little wish list at Belk, I was able to go pick out a few items for a little V-Day present to myself!

 

One of the pieces I scored is my new favorite accessory. I discovered it while browsing Belk online and when I saw it while I was shopping at Belk last weekend, I just knew it had to be mine. It's basically a wallet, with a front pocket for your phone, on a strap. I mean.. brilliant! I used it all last week. It's light and gave me easy access to everything I needed. This cross body is also the perfect bag for a night out on the town. It comes in several colors including a metallic pink option (aren't you shocked I didn't go for that one!)

 

And to make this Monday SUPER special - I've got a giveaway just in time for Valentine's Day!

 

 

Belk has so graciously offered not 1 but 2 gift cards to lucky BAD readers! These can be used either online or in the store (yay!) So you know the drill.. enter below via the Rafflecopter! U.S. entries only (sorry!)
