Of course, I had no idea what I would wear with them. Orange and turquoise was not a color combination common to my closet. No matter - these shoes were definitely worthy of a "fashion from the feet up" approach - meaning shoes first, outfit(s) to follow! And so it began - a quest for a wardrobe of orange and turquoise that would span seasons and make what was, I admit, a most impractical purchase practical. In the three years since these slightly over the top shoes came into my life, I've built a multitude of season spanning outfits around them, and never fail to notice and consider items that reflect the color combination (though I draw the line at Miami Dolphins gear).
These wearable works of art also began my love affair with the Poetic License line, and I've become a collector of sorts. They're incredibly unique, well-made and reliably true to size, though somewhat difficult to find locally. I've waxed poetic about other styles from this British brand here, here, here and here, and they were featured in my "guest post" here.
Do you ever take a "fashion from the feet up" approach, or are shoes just another finishing touch in your wardrobe?
Fashion is what you buy; Style is what you do with it!
