My bestie hates this cardigan with an inexplicable (to me) fiery passion. Me? I love it. And it goes very well with this Anthro dress I also love. Last time, I wore it with a black cardigan, but I enjoyed this iteration a great deal as well. There is something soothing to me about this greyed-out teal colour. Or something. I don’t know. Maybe we’ve got an Emperor’s New Clothes situation here? At least one person thinks so …

Can we talk about these shoes for a minute? The metallic finish is unusual yet surprisingly versatile, so I actually wear these pumps far more often than you might think considering we are talking about GOLD shoes. But, holy hell, that heel! My “happy place” when it comes to heel heights is 3.5 inches, and these are definitely higher, but the lack of platform and any sort of cushioning doesn’t help either. I wore this outfit to a function, and after an hour, I regretted it soundly … even though I got complimented on my fancy footwear. No real moral to this story, except to say that you probably need some gold shoes in your life, but they should probably have a sensible heel.

  1. I like the cardigan with this dress. The colour looks amazing with your colouring and the dress. Love the shoes too…I have some heels that I have a love/hate relationship with too, so I know how it feels. I have flats in the same colour as your pumps and I also find them amazingly versatile as a colour to wear with everything. Have a lovely day, Cheers, Michele

    • I don’t usually wear flats to work, but I would love a pair of 2-3 inch heels in a similar colour/finish. They’re hard to find though!

  2. I love this cardigan with the dress! It brings out the colors in the skirt perfectly. Have you ever tried foot petals? I have put them in all of my tallest heels, and they make them a little more comfortable to wear throughout the work day.

  3. I’m with you on the surprising versatility of metallic pumps. I had a pewter pair that elevated the interest of everything I wore. Sadly, I’m a bit rough on shoes and when the patent had enough damage I couldn’t wear them anymore, no replacements could be found. 🙁
    I think the cardigan is lovely. and every way you have worn it has been great!
