Lizzy’s Latest – White House Black Market Hawaii Sandals

IMG_6768 Final

For this heel/outfit combo, I can’t remember what came first:  the heels or the dress.  Whatever the sequence, I remember my satisfaction when I wore the look to a summer concert, of the boy-band variety, of course.  😉  This time around, it was summer fun at Balboa Park in San Diego, CA.    

As I mentioned in my previous post, my BFF, Tammy, and I woke up too late to drive to the desert for blog pics.  So, we decided to go to Balboa Park instead because of its picturesque setting.  Initially, we didn’t know where to start and then getting the right angle and pose can be difficult with a new photographer.  However, Tammy picked up photography like a pro!  Within the first half hour, she had already figured out the camera angles I preferred.  She would look at a shot and know almost immediately if I would like it or not.  Her confidence made me comfortable and made the shoot super fun.  Despite the crowd of people surrounding us, we were in our own little world.  

At one point, there was a Segway tour behind us.  As I perused my pictures, there was one guy on that tour who was watching Tammy take walking shots of me.  He could be seen in a line of pictures observing, then smiling, and eventually waving at the camera!  Of course, all of this was oblivious to us in the moment, but seeing it now makes me laugh.

There was lots of walking and these heels remained mostly comfortable.  It wasn’t until the last half hour that I began to feel discomfort and was ready to change into my flats.            

The sandals are from White House Black Market and are a few years old.  I’ve often mentioned that rich, vibrant colors look best against my pale skin.  So, it’s no surprise that the bright orange color caught my eye as did the heel height, approximately 4 inches.  The unexpected cork platform adds a nice detail to the heels as well.  

These sandals are no longer available, unfortunately.  I could not locate a similar pair, but I did find these cute orange heels at Macy’s though they are only available in a 5.5 right now.  An internet search for “orange heels” will bring up other styles as well.    

I say everyone needs a pair of orange heels in their shoe collection.  The fall is perfect for orange too!  A pop of orange will brighten jeans up and any neutral colored outfit.  Have fun shopping and creating a look that is perfectly you.  🙂

Style with a smile!
