Givenchy ss14
Proenza Schouler S/S 2014
Victoria Beckham ss13
Wow! Another in depth look at ugly shoes for 2k14, Iris? Yep, I'm on an ugly roll today. I'm gonna quickly discuss my top sandal picks for this year and last. I'll start with Victoria Beckham from ss13. This look says "I twisted my ankle in Aspen and my doctor told me to wrap it." Yes, its that look! The color and design screams bandage and healthcare and I like it! Its such a boring and minimalistic look which is no surprise since Victoria Beckham made it. No shade! But we knows she sticks to certain cuts/shapes/colors that says "I work in an office a million floors from the street and I wish I could flirt with that hot accountant dude."
Band of Outsiders debuted a weirdly uncomfortable looking sandal for this summer. I say uncomfortable because honestly imagine that timberland boot shoe lace in between the delicate skin of your big toe. Yes, I can hear you wince from here. The sock probably should come with the sandals because I honestly can't imagine walking down the street with those shoes without chaffing or extreme pain. Next!
Proenza Schouler debuted these sandals this year also. They look comfy and cute considering the intricate details around the soles. They resemble sandals I remember seeing my father gather up in the Nigerian marketplace. Very homey. His were brown and not as detailed but the way most of these sandals are made usually show off great stitching and last very long. Plus you don't need to show off much toe so no need for extravagant Pedi's!
Last but not least is my favorite. These Givenchy sandals are amazing. They scream Thanksgiving pilgrims. The buckle is well placed and large, just like I enjoy the details on my shoes. The sandal is basic without becoming too basic and boring. The black is clean and cool. I am a fan! Now if I could get Givenchy to send me a pair to thoroughly review...(just kidding) no I'm serious!
