Thrifty & Chic: Blue Suede Heels

August 23, 2010
I've been looking for blue shoes for a while now. I've got quite a few clothes in my closet that I feel would be better served if paired with a pair of blue shoes rather than black or brown. However, while searching for the perfect shoes, all thrift shoes I'd come across would either be matronly or plastic & gross. Last week my patience paid off & I scored a fabulous pair of blue suede shoes for $4. Upon arriving home, I logged on to the computer & googled the mysterious "DV" label. It's DV for Dolce Vita. This brand retails for about $80-120. Score. These shoes are comfortable, show just the right amount of toe cleavage & match practically everything I own! So happy to have found these babies. Above is how I wore them to church on Sunday. Here's the breakdown of my outfit:
  • cardigan - DownEast Basics $15 (50% off with employee discount)
  • top - thrifted & refashioned $4
  • belt - vintage from my grandma
  • skirt - thrifted $2
  • shoes - thrifted $4
