Look of the Day: In A Garden. Barefoot Con-dressa

SO clearly we had a fun time soaking up the sun yesterday, eating cake and BBq. It was quite the fabulous picnic, thank you Mom! And I even busted out my ash Lotus wedges! Although my outfit would have looked better with tights, I knew I wanted to be barefoot when we were in the backyard, so I opted for leggings. And I did in fact spend more time barefoot then in my shoes, it was just too darn nice out! It is REALLY starting to feel like spring..finally!

3/4 cup ASh lotus wedges
2 tbsp Nordstrom skirt

This Alexander Wang dress loosely inspired my outfit. I love this dress but I didn't feel the $450 price tag justified enough times I could wear this dress. So instead I attempted to style a similar look.
I'm getting my hair one today! YAY!

    Love those wedges! I saw them on shopbop and was veryyy tempted, but it is still only hitting 35 degrees on a good day around here and I would probably hurt myself in those :/.

    I love that look, I need to recreate something similar with my chambray shirt, and a fun floral skirt!

    Your post title had me cracking up! I love that AW dress, too, and I'm with you, I think the look can be easily replicated for less.

    I do love those wedges as well! Don't know that I could pull them off myself, but you rock them! I like your interpretation of the Alexander Wang dress.
    And in response to the Liberty of London comment you left on my blog, so disappointing/annoying that it sold out so quickly. I just checked out ebay and there's a few things on there...
    I wonder if it will be re-stocked in stores?

    I'm a big fan of denim shirts right now, but I haven't been able to find one that I want to buy. And I can totally understand putting fashion aside in favor of letting your bare feet soak up some sun. :)

    Those wedges are the business love, the business!! I was just looking at them the other day somewhere online and debating taking the plunge. Maybe I can get them on a wishlist or something for my birthday. I really like the color you selected them in though...food for thought.
