Embellish That! Glammed Up Flats
Embellishments are the new ‘it’ trend! What girl doesn’t love bedazzling everything and anything? It seems the eye is drawn to products with a little extra sparkle. These past few seasons, I’ve been seeing crystal clustered earrings, jeweled collars, embellished flats, studded jackets, and all that shines. This is a fantastic trend because it adds an extra special twist to any ordinary product. Take these grey suede flats for instance- they are your classic flat that are a closet staple because of their versatility. Add some embellishments and they’re a real eye-catcher!
In the above set, I featured grey J.Crew suede embellished flats. I particularly love this pair because of the combination of different embellishments. Rhinestones, pearls, jewels, studs- these shoes have them all and it pulls together nicely. I also love the metallic gold heel, which ties in nicely with the gold pyramid studs. These are versatile because grey is a great, neutral color for shoes and the gold and silver accents make it easy to wear with many different color palettes.
For the look, I paired a red and white striped Dolce & Gabbana midi skirt with an ivory Dorothy Perkins lace peter pan collared blouse and denim ruffled jacket. I really love this look because of the unique color palette. At a first glance, I would consider red, ivory, denim, and grey to be a casual color palette. It works as a dressed-up, professional look because of the classic silhouette. I accessorized with a red quilted Chanel chain-strap bag, gold knot earrings, and a salmon J.Crew wide bangle.
