Tan Suede Jacket + Mega Flatforms.

Ashley Style Blogger + Creative Director

Basic black jeans and a sweater with some serious flatforms.

A fall afternoon in Kansas City and a lightweight (faux) suede jacket are a match made in heaven. I loaded up on black basics– a deep v-neck sweater and high-waisted jeans– to give the jacket more air time. The real star of the show, though? A pair of crazy brogue flatforms from that take me from 5’5″ to a solid 5’11”.

Shop the look:

These flatforms are pretty major, both in style and in height. More 90’s goodness, that’s for sure. I can’t wait to wear these with dresses and tights; they’ll be a punky alternative to a heeled sandal with holiday dresses.

Thanks to everyone who noticed + commented on my hair– yes, it’s blonder! Lightening it to shake up the ol’ mane.

Hope you guys have a lovely weekend ahead; I’m off to St. Louis with my boyfriend for a quick getaway weekend. STL, here we come!
