Despite the Kansas-City-in-June humidity, I was determined to wear my hair straight for a night out to celebrate a friend’s birthday. Thankfully, my dryer + flat iron came through (anti-humidity hair spray helped a bit) and I was able to achieve Operation Straight Ambition.
I relied on an old favorite outfit combo: girly top + tough footwear. This time it was a sheer striped peplum blouse with a peter pan collar, silk trouser shorts, and a pair of too-cool-for-school boots from ShoeMint. It makes for an unexpected combination, no?
I’m newly-obsessed with ShoeMint. Being the shoe horse I am, I can’t believe it’s taken me this long. Quality shoes, nice price point, and right on-trend.
Such a cool look! I love the booties- with the shorts they make your legs look amazing!
Thanks, Alissa! The smoke and mirrors effect worked, then! Haha! 🙂
