garden feet

where to start with this shoe- i think my attraction to it pretty much speaks for itself. it's the perfect way to inject spring into your wardrobe yet an unconventional way to impose spring florals into your outfit. the design is also not so over-the-top that you can't mix other jazzy pieces into your outfit. i see myself wearing these shoes with a denim skirt, skinny cropped pants, and dressier shorts. the portion that draws my eye the most is the vine ankle wrap. the delicate way it spins around your limb is going to create the illusion that mother earth decided to grow with your steps. i keep staring at the flower, too, but only because i feel like it could be prettier. the flower on top is a duller green than the strap vines. but looking at the shoe in person may be a completely different story. you would definitely want perfectly prim and pedicured feet while wearing these, because your feet will get a ton of attention.
