Excess-orized

in what i'm wearing

Every girl should own a few statement accessories that bring a real “wow” factor — you know? Those No. 1 (style) Stunnas that make your girlfriends say “that is so you!” Or, as I actually prefer, “how the hell do you walk in those?”

Last weekend, I paired these lace-up, sculpted Jeffrey Campbell’s with a perfect perforated mini bag from Ann Taylor. My mantra is generally somewhere along the line of “less is more,” but hell; if you’re investing in statement accessories, you might as well wear ‘em, right? And why not together?

Like these shoes? See how else I’ve styled ‘em here and here. And, a mental note: Despite an overwhelming urge to match your shoes to your shorts, just do not don leather duds when the temps are slated to rise above 90 degrees.

Those shoes are amazing! Are they difficult to walk in, or are they basically like wedges? Love the bag, too. Great statement pieces!!

Thank you so much! They’re not bad, actually, because there’s such a high platform. I’ve had practice, though!

That bag is so great, I love it! Brave woman for walking in those shoes, I would most likely sprain my ankle :)

I LOVE those shoes!! Are they hard to walk in?!

Not really, the platform makes it a bit easier. Then again, I’ve had a lot of practice… :)
