// Just for the fun of it

Posted on | January 23, 2011 | 5 Comments

I got this Malene Birger dress from sales after Christmas. It is kind of serious, good girl dress with long sleeves, subdued nude and gray paint splash print and quite grown up, beautifully draped faux wrap cut. Quite perfect for semi-formal events — and also for everyday workwear, probably layered under a cozy cardigan. I know that I will wear it quite a bit with just some simple undergarment and heels… …but both the pattern and the shape also tempt me to experiment with other patterns and digging out the other side of it…

…like the bold spots of cheap H&M tight from last spring, they turn my thoughts to circus atmosphere every time I wear them… …or the saloon girl vibe with old lace fishnet tights and vintage silk slip.

// Unfortunately off-season

I got myself a pair of Jeffrey Campbell boots from Stockholm sales, lovely Flying A sells them. I really dig the wooden sole, subtle cut-out detail in the heel, pointy toe and grainy leather in these… …plus as far as I know they are not an actual knock-off from any designer boot. The last is comfortable and they are quite walkable — but naturally the sole does not bend at all, so I have to be careful.

And they are certainly not for this weather:

Can’t wait until the streets are clean again!

I’m not all okay with Jeffrey Campbell and Steve Madden shoe brands. I mean both of them tend to have several coveted designs in a season and the prices are not bad, materials and construction look good… …but that design ripping mentality bugs me, kind of.

Anyway, lately Jeffrey Campbell has sent out several fabulous designs with no evident source of inspiration. The coveted Clinic boot with metal insets on the wedge and it’s big sister in boot form. The sculptural shape of the wedge in these is so great that it certainly deserves more exploration.

Alley sandals have a great cage structure and pewter covered giant wedge. I love them — but stylewise they are probably too close relatives to my Topshop alien shoes, can’t really justify the purchase. But the all black Xenon would be the ultimate everyday walkable clumpy wedge. I think I could shave some space for these from my shoe closet.
