Colorblocking

The other day I started to drag out all my winter clothes and rediscovered this fun colorblock sweater! I like how it's a statement all in itself and you don't have to pile on a bunch of accessories. It was the perfect chance to wear my wear my ginormous Kate Spade glitter earrings I scored from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale a few months back. Paired with the red sweater I felt like I was all in the holiday spirit and ready to decorate (or at least drink a red-cup gingerbread latte) since I'm one of those people who refuse to put out Christmas decorations until the day after Thanksgiving. :)

Since this sweater looked a little short with pants, I layered it over a matching tank to help lengthen. I was hesitant about these patent wedges, but I'm really growing to love them. I've seen (and loved) them on other bloggers and decided to purchase them when I needed shoes for a friend's outdoor wedding. When I first pulled them out of the box I thought they looked odd, almost like webbed heels instead of webbed feet, but after trying them on, realized they were sooo much more comfortable than my usual heels. I think I might be getting arthritis in my right big toe (oh the joys of getting older), because any kind of heel creates a lot of pressure and pain, but it definitely wasn't as bad with these shoes. That alone made them keepers! I also really like the almond toe and neutral color. So far I've worn them with a dress and these pants and have been happy with them both times. So here's to trying new things and being thankful for shoe inspiration from my fellow blogger friends!
