Wednesday's Wardrobe: Blue Suede Shoes

Sorry for the delay on Wednesday's Wardrobe, would you believe I burned the entire palm of my hand cooking dinner last night? No? Believe it, I tried to type this up and kept yelping in pain! All good tonight, so here it goes...

Elvis* and I could have been friends.  We both love(d) dancing, peanut butter banana sandwiches, donning leather and blue suede shoes.  While I don't own loads of leather/suede I do occasionally indulge in a rich, buttery piece of leather or a bold suede piece.  Most often my cow products or vegan takes on said products are in the form of a shoe, jacket or purse. So, here are a few suede/ vegan leather items in my closet.

I wore this last week when it was still warm enough to forget tights for another day. You cannot tell but the neckline of this top is almost stained glass like, i.e subtly sheer in spots. Also, if you've never tried Dansko clogs, I highly recommend them.  The arch and heel support is top notch, and a pair will last you forever, or six years, whatever comes first.

most comfortable shoes ever, they are my favorite post-marathon shoes! 

I wore this dress to work this week.  I love the big buttons, color blocking and subtle nod towards mod.  I tried to pair it with chevron tights and booties for a subtle nod to the 1960s.  These suede booties have become a quick favorite as they are comfortably classic but also on trend with the season's loafer/oxford/menswear-inspired footwear.

I wanted this vegan leather skirt the second I saw it on Gilt Groupe but it was gone by the time I tried to purchase it at 12:04pm.  Does anyone else have these issues on Gilt Groupe?  Anyway, I received an email from Gilt during a break from jury duty last week stating that my skirt was now available. I scooped it up and have loved it since I took it out of the box.  The elastic waist (awesome-town), pleats and superior comfort can't be touched.  It's such an easy piece to dress up or down.  I intend to dress it up for holiday gatherings over the next two weeks.

*So we're clear, I'm talking about early 1950's cuffed jeans, striped tee, leather jacket Elvis, not bloated Vegas jumpsuit Elvis.

With that, have a good weekend. We're on a quest for the perfect tree this weekend, finishing the Jingle Bell 8k race and all sorts of other fun stuff.  Have a good weekend everyone!
