As comfy shoes go, I also very much like Sofft, Born, Dansko and Pikolinos (Spanish brand), and I try to buy from discount stores and usually pay 50% less than original prices, or even cheaper. I don't remember when I a paid full price for anything. :)Natalia Lialinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07552652475347261756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759460753738753423.post-1726503529444417972014-04-25T15:12:54.649-07:002014-04-25T15:12:54.649-07:00Pretty lining can make such a difference in a purs...Pretty lining can make such a difference in a purse or a blazer or anything, really.

Everything came together perfectly here down to your shoes and nails! Love the purse, too. I'm a fan of wicker bags. Thrifting is great. When you buy those one of a kind things you never have to worry about seeing yourself coming and going as they say.

Really pretty you, in a really pretty set of colors ... the print is retro pretty, but it's hard to imagine it looking any better than it does on you. In another season, we might have worn it with brown but if it's trendy to wear it with the orange, then let it be so! I think trends get a bad rap sometimes, especially when they help us look at visual ideas differently and prompt the kind of creativity you showed us here. Sometimes vintage sings a more modern version of its song when it is treated as a contemporary. Still vintage, with its character intact, but enhanced.<br />And those little orange sandals just made my day.

You're right: not...This is indeed a great look. You're right: nothing says 70s like brown and orange. It's a combination I wear often because, like you, I have auburn hair and pale skin and I think orange and brown suit our colouring. <br /><br />$35 for Tsubo is just insane! I have a disability so can't wear heels and am always on the lookout for nice flats. Tsubo entered my radar for that reason. I've had great luck with Ecco too.<br /><br />http://www.sublimemercies.com/Charlotte Issyvoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11081140798331499819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759460753738753423.post-5687720626250338682014-04-22T21:03:43.966-07:002014-04-22T21:03:43.966-07:00What a great find!

Like you I need either a L or XL top and would never think to look at something marked S. <br />The whole outfit is very stylish and comfortable looking. I love the shoes, accessories and straw bag. What fantastic lining in the bag too! <br /><br />I don't wear a lot of orange but I do wear brown. I love brown but it seems not to be in right now. Not that it matters only it means I can't find any new brown things. The orange really suits you. Your pretty green eyes look so nice with the orange and brown. <br />xoShawna McComberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11296162660865309624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759460753738753423.post-64291167308235074632014-04-22T11:08:42.024-07:002014-04-22T11:08:42.024-07:00Look at your beautiful face!!!
