4 seasons - coral sheath dress

It's starting to get cooler now (winds over the weekend reaching up 80km+ and power outages galore!!) so I thought it would be a perfect time to publish my first '4 seasons' post. As I mentioned before, it's hard to own less when you live in a 4 season country, but there are some items that I'm able to wear year round at the office.

As many of you know, I LOVE this coral sheath dress, so I thought I would start with this one =)

Spring - ivory cardigan, boat shoes

Summer - T-strap sandals, ivory belt

Fall - brown 3/4 length sleeve knitted cardigan, brown ankle boots
(if it gets cooler than usual, I'd wear tights too)

Winter - black wool cardigan, black loafers, leopard print belt
(outside of the office, I'd probably be wearing my black knee high rain boots)

He's right. 

It took me a long time to let go of my Cole Haans (and to be honest, ever since they have been sitting in the donations bag, I have had to hold myself back from putting them back into my collection) but this weekend, I was able to justify bringing a new pair of shoes into my collection (one-in, one-out rule!) and have found new love and a new summer wardrobe staple.

Behold - my new Franco Sarto Venezia flats!!! 

 

I bought these on Saturday on a way to a party because the sandals I was wearing at the time were really cutting into me (the fate of that one will have to be decided at a later time) and I happen to be at the mall picking up some last minute things and thought I would just check to see if they have something more comfortable for a low price. I found these beauties for a great price - $39.99 and couldn't past them up. They are so comfortable and a great shade of gray (maybe taupe?) to be a definite wardrobe staple for me. I couldn't ask for more. 

This is my first venture into Franco Sarto shoes (I've heard great things before) and definitely would want to look into this as a go-to brand (I'm very brand loyal, if you haven't noticed already).
