Shopping with Claudia: How Psyched Are You For Summer?
Yeah, me too. Today was ridiculously warm and summery and maxidress-worthy. (I know, maxidresses are a polarizing item, the topic of much debate. Personally, I love 'em. They're California Casual, guys! Totally Schafer-approved.) Since the shoe buying moratorium is still in place (I will admit to trying on a pair of Chloe knockoffs by Dolce Vita at T.J. Maxx today), I'll limit my seasonally-trigged shopping jones to window shopping at etsy.
Kishi-approved vintage (later in the series the ghostwriters started describing her as a thrift-store junkie, remember?) footwear below. Including a pair of ankle wrap sandals - you know how Claudia feels about shoes that lace up your calves.
Salina strappy sandals - size 10
Liz Wear fringe wrap sandals - size 6.5
Mixed Blues tricolor huraches - size 8.5
Pikolinos slingback sandals - size 7
Guijada handcarved clogs - size 9
Rieker laceup gladiators - size 6.5
Those purple Guijada heels . . . damn. Please, someone buy them and give them the love they deserve. They're amazing.

I love that these are Schaefer- and Kishi-approved. Also, I am definitively pro-maxi dress.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, the only shoes here in my size are the mixed blues, which aren't my things. I love those fringed ones though!
you don't see too many awesome shoes on etsy in a size 9.5-10ish, but those are great! good hunting.
ReplyDeletealso i think maxi dresses are really cute if a. you're very tall & statuesque or b. very short & pixie-ish (pixish?)
at 5'7", in a maxi, i think i just look like i got lost on my way to the boardwalk.
The shoes are amazing, I love your blog.
ReplyDeleteHave you seen the post on WhoWhatWearDaily on 90s fashion?
I swear the picture could be of Stacy, Claudia, Dawn, and Mary Anne.

I think maxi dresses are perfectly fine. In the summer (esp in the Northeast), it's a given that everyone kind of always looks like shit. Maxi dresses only look bad in photographs.
ReplyDeletethis...is the best blog ever.
ReplyDeleteI think maxi dresses mostly just have to be worn with confidence. they're like those liquid leggings - potentially ugly but also kind of great if they're worn by someone who pulls them off.
ReplyDeleteThank you for making What Chuck Wore, it is my new favorite blog.
