My latest fashion obsession is the new Chloe' sandals for Spring/Summer 2010 ($595, Intermix). You know what I mean by my obsession right?... Inevitably I'll be confronted with said obsession and get so excited to see it in real life that I will buy it with my measly income and struggle to pay it off over time {see a real life example of this with these Vera Wang boots I purchased last fall here- I STILL LOVE THEM, no regrets}. Emphasis on struggle. Damn Quarterlife Crisis.
I digress.
The new Chloe' sandal takes the neo-classical gladiator sandal and gives it a more military/safari-ish edge. Not too edgy of course, still wearable and in muted browns and canvas' it's almost downright preppy. Hannah McGibbon really nailed it. Pair this lovely set of sandals with any of the much coveted florals for Spring for a look worth remembering. Important side note: make sure to show plenty of leg with these shoes, no, not like prostitute leg, but short hems are in and the proportions of these sandals with their covered up ankles will do your legs a serious disservice if you wear them with something that cuts below the knee aka the widest part of your lower legs. Herrr-o tree trunk legs.
Thankfully, there are several versions that are not attached to the over half a grand price tag. The 80%20 (so named because of our tendency to wear 20% of our clothes 80% of the time) from Intermix ($145, pre-order now) capture the look just about the same as their expensive cousins. These bad boys even have a hidden 3 1/2" heel to make your legs look like woah.
Don't thank me. Thank the Shoe Gods. That's right I capitalized those words out of reverence. Muahah.
