Chic for Cheap: One Pair of Shoes Two Ways
;)
Tip: Click on the image for a larger pop-out view.
I came across a few really awesome pairs of shoes on the Sundance Catalog website yesterday and thought they'd be a great launching place for a Chic for Cheap challenge. When dressing chicly for cheap it really does makes sense to occasionally invest in strong pieces that you can wear over and over again; mixing and matching to create unique looks using your more affordable seasonal pieces. Today's outfits are my attempt to show that this one spectacular pair of shoes can be used to create two different looks: Bohemian Chic and City Chic. What do you think? Do you have a favorite item in your wardrobe (worth its weight in gold) that you have reinvented time and time again? xo Ez
