Shanta’ sent the following email last week:
I need some nice ideas on what outfits I can put together with these heels. I would appreciate your help.
Shanta’ is going to a party in a few weeks so she was interested in outfits she could wear with the shoes along with general day/evening looks.
It’s no secret that the summer wardrobe is all about color (or it should be)! I’d recommend pairing the DREAM sandals with a bright short a-line dress like this Orange Daisy Lace Dress and neutral accessories, allowing the dress and shoes to stand out. Orange is a great contrast to turquoise and the lace detail adds dimension to the look. This a-line dress creates a waist and curves for a woman who may have a boyish frame. If you’re bigger on bottom, the a-line silhouette will help balance out your top half by creating flattering volume on the bottom.
The second option is to pair the DREAM sandals with neutrals, allowing the shoes to really stand out. Here I’d suggest pairing the sandals with a neutral high low hem dress (one of the hottest trends of the summer) and classic accessories, like pearls. The pearl necklace includes a gold and purple detail, another color that compliments turquoise very well. The look is pulled together with a neutral textured clutch, neutral lip and bronzer for a soft look. The high low hem dress works great for just about everyone, but it’s especially a nice option for women who are petite and want to wear maxi dresses. The shorter hem in the front will give the illusion of longer legs.
I wouldn’t recommend wearing satin sandals during the day however for a casual dressed up look (if that makes any sense) you could pair them with a floral top and silk blend shorts like the Elizabeth and James Katia flared silk-chiffon shorts below. Look for a floral top that has turquoise or a similar shade to pull the color out of the shirt and bring the entire look together. You can also bring in another bold color through accessories like the yellow clutch. The top has really small hints of yellow and the clutch helps bring that color out of the shirt as well.
Shanta’ I hope you find these suggestions helpful!! If you need any more help with outfits suggestions for the Bakers DREAM sandals, let me know!
