Cut it Out.

Girly up top + tough shoes. The girls in London have been perfecting this combo for years, and it’s an aesthetic I picked up after taking a London vacation right after college. So easy to do: rather than a simple ballet flat, pick a shoe with a bit of edge. These Topshop shoes are a bit more ladylike than the Jeffrey Campbell stompers I’ve been wearing lately, but still lend some toughness to a classic look.

  1. Hi there, pretty girl! Looking amazing. Did you have a good weekend?

    I love these shoes- and that top, which you can style so many diff ways. Loving it!

    1. I’m interested to see if I work the shoes with shorts/a dress. Definitely loving it with jeans/trousers!

      My weekend was good- lots of little gatherings with friends. 🙂

  2. Your collection of black skinny pants is amazing, Ash! People don’t realize how important great basics are- but you do! 🙂

    1. Thanks, Olivia! I was just saying that I have SO MANY versions of this classic trouser, but it’s such a staple. I wear it all the time, all year, everywhere and anywhere. 🙂

  3. You make simple gray and black so chic and unboring! 🙂 Those shoes are really fun,!

    Can I just move into your closet, please? It’s so awesome.

    1. Thanks, Ryann! I do love me some basics. And yes, of course you can move in- but you’ll have to supply your own cot. 😉

  4. you are so british right now ashley! love the outfit, love those shoes!! hope you had a great memorial day weekend. xoxo

  5. Yes! I love the idea of taking a tough shoe and pairing it with simple and more lady-like things. 😀

  6. I really like your “wild” hair (not wild at all from a fellow curly girl!). And you can’t go wrong with a gray tee in my opinion!

  7. I love your hair like this!! And I have a few pair of more masculine shoes and I really like pairing them with a pretty, feminine top to balance it out.

  8. Such a great combo. You look FABULOUS!

    ps. Thank you so much for the sweet comment, love. 🙂

    xo, Anna
