Wearing It Now: Tomboy Sundae with a Cherry on Top

Essential to dressing on the double is stocking your wardrobe with a few pieces that really put an exclamation point on the outfit, and in this case a rather red exclamation point. These loafers were a recent purchase and I am utterly smitten. I have always loved loafers but never wore them much because the ones I had weren’t comfortable. This pair is comfortable, sturdy, and timeless. With plenty of room in the toe box I could even get away with wearing trouser socks with them when it gets cold out.

Wearing it Now RedThe patent leather, which is very in right now, is great for unexpected inclement weather. I love suede shoes, but for a shoe I plan to wear running around a lot I didn’t want to have to worry about stains and treatments. The first day I wore these (pictured) it was a rainy day and they held up fantastically.

Statement shoes are my absolute favorite outfit maker. Because I don’t like to wear finicky clothes and prefer to keep things pretty simple, I often turn to my footwear to give my outfit that extra lift to elevate and complete the look. Here the red loafer gives a very tomboy look a good dose of femininity. To create a monochrome palate I paired a blue striped cocktail shirt with denim in a similar medium shade of blue.

Wearing it nowServing as my third piece is the iconic trench coat- the perfect topper for fall/spring transitional days. This is an unlined trench coat I picked up from Gap years ago. I think in the future I’ll be investing in a more structured and lined version, but for now this one works just fine and I don’t have to worry about little fingers getting dirt and stains on it.
