It isn't even so much that I dislike boots and closed toe shoes, it's the more the fact that I don't own any comfortable pairs. I must have over a dozen options, with varying degrees of wearability, but none to rival the comfort of the simple leather sandal.
And speaking of shoes, the three pairs I recently bought are all going back on reasons of too long, too narrow, and too stiff - would potentially cause ankle chafing. I'm really disappointed. I was hoping at least one would have worked out! I need to stop online shoe shopping, it rarely ends with me having new shoes.

You should rock your sandals as long as you can. I get all excited about boots at the beginning fall, but then I am wishing for sandal weather by the time winter is over. Heather
ReplyDeletelovely outfit!

Oh la la - red pants! I just love that outfit on you. Have a great day, lovely.
ReplyDeleteI've moved on to closed to shoes...I can't stand cold feet and it's always freezing at work. However, I will try as much as I can to not wear socks until mid winter LOL
ReplyDeleteI wear sandals even in winter. (Well, sandals with a heel.) I'm all for sandals year round! I live in the South so it doesn't get too cold here. I love your bracelets and watch together. Cute outfit!

Aw that's a bummer! I can commiserate with you though. I have the widest feet on the planet. And short. Sooooo all the cute heels are often ill fitting. I love your stripes and red pants today Lydia and hooray for weather over 65!!!
ReplyDeleteI've been waiting for my online shoe shopping luck to run out...I've been really lucky so far in terms of fit and comfort level but I know my streak has to end soon....

Your bag is wonderful! I love leather bags! :D
ReplyDeleteonline shoe shopping is the worst! Unless they have free shipping both ways, I dont even bother and even then its still a hassle.
ReplyDelete60+ is sandal weather in my book too! You look fabulous - easy breezy, but appropriate for Fall time of year, even it is doesn't actually FEEL like Fall.
ReplyDeleteMy feet hate being enclosed, but I have found the holy grail of ballet flats at J.Crew - spendy but worth it in terms of all day foot comfort!

Shoe shopping online is hard, but thank goodness for good return policies!
ReplyDeleteYou look great. If your weather is letting you wear this, I say go for it. I especially love your trench.
ReplyDeleteI haven't had very good luck shoe shopping online either; I guess I'm just going to have to make a run to Nordstrom Rack.
I love those pants girlfriend and I know what you mean about getting too cold for sandals.. i dont like having to wear socks or tights... but once I do settle in I am a big BOOT lover! youre looking awesome xox oJ
ReplyDeletei am drooling over that white link bracelet!
ReplyDeletebrett
hahaha, we're totally similar in that respect--we don't want winter to come. I'm glad you're still being able to get some wear out of your sandals. Hopefully it won't get too chilly for you!
ReplyDeleteThose red pants are fierce, girl. And your purse is so floppy and fab!
lovely outfit!

I live in tropical weather most of the year so I stick to my sandals. But I'd live in sandals all year in NYC too if I could!

That's not a recent Gap top is it? I LOVE it - the button detailing is too cute and it looks so good paired with those red jeans. UGH.
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love this outfit! I'm with you on the sandals!
ReplyDeleteIsn’t That Charming.
Great fall look! Love these red pants-look awesome!

Doing the SAME thing..it is unseasonably warm...so I am not committing to my boots until it goes down a few degrees..
ReplyDeleteactually wore leather leggings w sandals, which sounds horrible, but somehow worked, lol.
Hope you find some boots to love...I am on a mission for a knee high motorcycle inspired pair...wish me luck!

I don't blame you--keep rocking the sandals! I've been too lazy to paint my toenails, so despite the warm weather my sandals are staying in my closet!
ReplyDeleteI have a hard time shopping online too. I like being able to try things on before I buy, which is obviously impossible when shopping on line. And dealing with returns is no fun!
I love, love your sandals, Lydia.

That bag from T J Maxx is super duper fab and loving all the neutrals with your bright red pants!

simple and chic look. love your red pants
ReplyDeleteOhh so sad :( But shoe shopping is so difficult. I hardly ever seem to find just the right pair. This is a great restyle of your jacket! I love this bracelet stack, too. I got the same Caravelle watch, but I have to get links removed before I wear it, flops around too much!
ReplyDeleteNothing is better than a pair of comfy sandals to walk on!
ReplyDeleteAww that's a bummer about the shoes, especially the sparkle boots (you know how I feel about those...). Love this look though! I've actually been looking around for a unique pinstripe top!
ReplyDeleteLove the arm candy and killer scarlet skinnies!
ReplyDeleteYour spade ring is adorable!
