Welcome Back Orthos

Heeyyyyy guys! I promise to do better in posting more content. School and work just has me on a real grind lately. But school is about to be over! That means I will get more time to share some really cool things with you guys!! 

Just wanted to share the come back of these "ORTHOS"! If you read my blog A Beauty in Disguise you'll know the background story of these shoes. Go check it out if you haven't!

I really enjoyed this outfit. It's chill and sassy. Sassy on top and chill at the bottom. A pair of white sneakers and distressed denims can go a long way. Try different tops to see how versatile your closet can be. Once in awhile try to explore outside of the basic graphic tees when pairing with denims and white sneakers. You may end up finding some old gems you forgot you had. 

Also, remember when I spoke on matching details together. My last example was matching my socks to the same red purse I used with this outfit. This time it is the red purse, red lipstick, and sunglasses!

Derby or Oxford?

Hey beautiful people!

Originally I had discussed that my shoes were a women's version of the traditionally known Oxford, but in my recent finding, it is actually a Derby! The reason for this is the lace system.  What do you think my shoes are? Open or Closed lacing? It is open lacing! Silly me!

Quick Fact:

Derby's are also called Blucher, the terms are used interchangably without getting too technical. But there is a slight difference in the two if you'd like to know refer to this video at 2'30".

These babies are so easy to play with. Beige is a subtle neutral color, so you can definitely make it fun contrasting it with colorful socks or maybe ruffled socks for those who want to be adventurous with their palette. 

Here I paired them with Tommy Hilfiger socks that perfectly matched my "Bonjour" red shoulder bag. Matching small details such as earrings to belt, top to shoelaces, and as an example here, bag to socks, can definitely finish off a look.
