What Wendy Wore: Birthday Booties From BarbaraB

March 17, 2014 by WendyB

In January, my gorgeous mother BarbaraB got me floral Givenchy booties as a belated birthday gift.

With all the snow and general bad weather we’ve had in New York City this winter, I didn’t get a chance to wear these until this week. First, I tried them with my usual outfit of jeans and a black t-shirt (same thing as here, just different shoes).

Jacket: Stacy Lomman Fall 2012 collection (acquired 2013)
T-shirt: Splendid

Jeans: Citizens of Humanity (2011)
Shoes: Givenchy (2014)
Purse: Yves Saint Laurent (2013)

I realized that didn’t do the shoes justice at all so I forced my lazy self into a dress for dinner on Saturday night.

Dress: Versace (probably 2003)
Shoes: Givenchy (2014)

That was better! I must confess I didn’t go all out with my sartorial effort though. I accessorized the dress with the same jacket and purse I wore with the jeans. I’m clearly in need of some more wardrobe therapy.

    I adore that Givenchy print. Tried on the “Birkenstocks” in the same print, but gave them a pass. Those are some fabulous boots!!

      I’m usually not much for florals but the colors here got to me!

    I think you need to wear these with cropped light pink tailored pants and a sharp black jacket.

      Ooh, I like. Very ’80s sounding.

    I love the first look, Wendy!! But…it doesn’t do those Givenchys justice; and only because you can’t really see them!! The black shift dress, on the other hand, is perfect for showing off that Fabulous Floral Footwear!! Those boots were made to steal the spotlight!!

      Exactly, it was so lazy of me to wear them with jeans!

    Woo, those are fabulous booties! Adore! Yes, much better to show them off – what about a funky black skirt and a PINK blouse??

      I actually pondered a pink and red top! But I realized the right skirt was in the laundry so next time!
