BEST FOOT FORWARD

For me, the easiest way to make an outfit is to build staples around one or two fun items.  When planning this look, I knew I was going to be walking around a lot, so that meant ditching my traditional heels / wedges.  When it comes to flats, if I must wear them, then they need to be fun and functional.  These Sam Edelman sandals were perfect for the day; they’re comfortable and dress up any outfit, even when it’s black pants and a tank top.   My other items came from Express, one of my favorite places to go when I need to spruce my closet game up on a budget.  The envelope tassel purse has become a great accessory for me – there’s a removable chain that makes it versatile as a clutch too.

Oh, and if you’re wondering about the purple wristband.. just a teaser for what’s to come on my feature about things around town!
