It's been a while since I've written up a style narcissism post. Apparently, I haven't been feeling as narcissistic as usual 😉 I have however, been dying to share pics of one of my favourite pairs of summer shoes that I gifted myself with at the Flare X Aldo launch party. Although I was one of the few, if not only, female bloggers to opt out of purchasing the also fantastic Flare collaboration Bish Aldo Heels & go for the Ikat-inspired wedges instead, I couldn't be happier with my alternative choice (and not just because they make me tower over 6 feet tall!).
Heeled at 6″, they're 100% wearable (aka *GASP* comfortable!), as well as a heck of a lot more versatile than one might think. I just hope I don't trip over my own two feet (not uncommon) while wearing them. It wouldn't be pretty; possibly funny, but not so fabulous! So if you want to magically “grow” & make a statement, you can grab your turquoise Aldo Forwoods for $90 (or the green version for $69.98 CND, now on sale!).
PS: And no, I can't seem to keep a straight face for more than a split second. Seriously, does anyone have any tips?!
Wedges – Aldo, Striped Skirt – H&M, Braided Belt – Miu Miu, Lime Tank – Joe Fresh Style, Jacket – Xuan-Thu Nguyen, Earrings – Winners, Matryoshka Pin – Handmade, from Prague

Ha, yes, I'm hoping I don't have an 'incident' myself. I'm attempting to rectify my own case of clumsiness!
