On the Hunt for Boat Shoes
My dear friend Gwen sports the cutest pair of leather boat shoes- they look casual but with a bit of preppy polish. She's inspired me to do some serious shoe hunting when I hit the mainland in a few weeks. (There's something to be said for trying things on in person, isn't there?) Here are a few ideas for summer footwear- all classics with a fun, beachy twist. And the photo above is pinned to my summertime inspiration board as a helpful reminder.
What could be beachier than faded nautical stripes?
I like the variety of textures on this pair.
Of course, The Fab Miss B is like a raccoon- she loves anything that glitters...
Classic Keds get a cool update with linen.
Love the unexpected jolt of color and shine on this pair.
But this pair is the one that really makes my heart go pitter pat. I have a sneaky feeling I'd wear them with everything. Which pair is your favorite?
I like the very first pair with some color...but the ones you like best are classic! I have some new boat shoes...they are pink! lol Enjoy your day! ♥
ReplyDeletei've been teetering back and forth between those stripey toms and these from tretorn. leaning toward the laces. a girl needs a good summer shoe. :)
ReplyDeletelove them all but I am all about supporting a good cause. If am gonna spend the money I wanna at least know that a child in a third world country is getting a pair of shoes as well:) I vote for TOMS w/ stripes!
ReplyDeleteI vote for silver!!
ReplyDeleteI poke fun at my boyfriend for wearing/owning boat shoes. However, your post of these beauties will make me change my tune (and add 'em to my own wishlist!).
