Bows on Toes

February 9, 2015 by jessica

FebOutfit1v1

Any day above freezing is a day for coat-free outfit photos! And what better way to show off my favorite new skirt?! I couldn’t be happier with the windowpane design and the short, flippy style.

Now, let’s talk shoes. These darling block-heel pumps are from DUO, a new-to-me British brand that specializes in classic designs with customizable fits. If I hadn’t been enamored with the “Karin” style (give me a ’60s inspiration any day), I would have opted for a pair of boots. I have a hard time finding boots to fit my calves and the made-to-measure shafts are awfully tempting. I wear a standard size 7 and went with the European 37, even if it technically translates into a size 6.5. They fit perfectly, they’re comfortable, and the quality is outstanding.

    I’m such a huge fan of black & white combos. This looks classic and chic! I love that skirt – I have a top in a similar print and it’s such a fun piece to style.

    I have now fallen down a Duo rabbit hole of amazingness — how have I never heard of this brand before? Love that they sell multiple widths, good fit makes all the difference!

    Those shoes look so much like the ferragamos and are just too cute! I love your new skirt and I am in awe of your bare legs and arms and coat-less photos. I’ve decided I’m over freezing for the sake of outfit photos.

      It’s only because we’ve gotten it down to about five to seven minutes outside! Haha. After that, I figure whatever is on the camera is good enough. 😉

    How cute are those shoes?! I love that they have a little heel too. I wish it would just not snow for like..one day here. It makes it impossible to take pictures. Never thought I’d say that I miss Wisconsin weather! 😉

    Loving this outfit! Those shoes are so cute. I’m impressed by your bare legs! It has been in the 60s here lately and I’m still afraid to go without tights, haha.

    Beautiful outfit. The window pane skirt, the cross body bag and of course the shoes. You totally nailed it.
