If you follow @ShoeTease on Instagram, you know that I'm an overly enthusiastic Winners shopper. I love the scour the racks of discounted brand & designer merch for that special find, sans pesky sales folk hovering around. That being said, there are many people who absolutely abhor this type of store & would prefer a curated little shop where they can whisk in & out of in the span of 15 minutes. I presume these are the people who dislike perusing vintage stores & shopping at Joe Fresh.
They just don't understand the fun! Not to toot my own horn, but not only am I a pretty great bargain hunter (out of necessity, mostly!) but I'm a bit of a treasure finder over at Winners. I found this incredible necklace (not to mention this one too!), scored amazing Ralph Lauren pumps, graphic sneakers, my favourite earrings & found cross-body bag upon purse of gorgeous little gems (some even on clearance!). You know, just to name a few. Seriously though, if there were a Winners challenge, I would win. Not to gloat, but having a visual knack is kind of my superpower (seriously, I was tested. But rest assured that I scored impressively low on everything else!).

To get to my point, the bulk of this outfit is from Winners: the Coach canvas printed peep-toes, the two-tone Bella Luxx romper & Emma Fox handbag. The utility jacket is an old favourite from Gap, chain necklace from Joe Fresh & baubles aside from the Aldo rings, were a gift from an unknown store. Although I'm not a fan of Coach bags, I do love their shoes. I already own this great pair of black leather booties & this relatively new pair of peep-toes are just as comfortable. As I've recently babbled about, I'm a huge fan of comfortable high heel shoes and my experience with Coach footwear so far is a lovely fit with a comfortable feel. Essentially, I'm able to walk like a lady rather than like a newborn calf. Which, to be honest, is what I like to strive for when I slip on a pair of heels!

I love this whole outfit!
I'm not a fan of Coach bags either, but I've recently discovered their sunglasses which I love. Lots of simple, classic styles that are nice quality.

Thanks Simone! I'll be sure to check out their sunglasses as I'm always looking for new, fun pairs that won't break after the second (or first!) wear.
Great to have you stop by!xoC
