This is my second wear of my suede skirt too (last seen here). I felt a little overdressed for work, but whatever.
Today's Fluevog of the Day are my Coffee "Sumatra" shoes:

For those of you who asked, new styles are usually cheaper to buy online from the Fluevog website, although they are still really expensive (usually $99 - over $300, with most of the shoes being in the $200 range). BUT, I have often found their shoes, especially discontinued styles, marked down quite low in other stores - and lots of boutiques carry a very small amount of what a full Fluevog store does (check it out - scroll down - even Iceland has a store that sells them!)
Be aware that Fluevogs are extremely erratic in sizing from family to family, and it really helps to try them on. I have bought all the way from an 8.5 to a 10. If you check out the comments on the shoe styles in the same family (for example, in the Macchiato you'd probably want to order a half-size larger), it can give you a better idea of how the shoe's sizing runs. These ones that I wore today are a size 10, and I usually wear a 9 or 9.5.
I also find that some styles look amazing on the website and are a little blah in person - and some styles that I wouldn't look twice at online are fantastic once you put them on your foot.
But enough jibba-jabba! Feast your eyes:

The sparkly stuff:

Shirt (Mexx, consignment), vest (Jacob, consignment), skirt (Danier, thrifted), shoes (Fluevog, Coffee "Sumatra"), necklace (vintage), ring (vintage), wood ring (consignment).
Very cool - I really like the vest! And those shoes look so special! I've never heard of that brand before, so thanx!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your new job! I hope it is going well. You are certainly dressing for the occasion - this outfit is great. I envy you your vest skills: I love vests but can never get them to work. And that juicy red necklace - utterly gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteSo, cute!! I just love these shoes! The vest look is great for work...
ReplyDeleteI am seriously, seriously in love with that necklace. I like even better than the Fluevogs!
ReplyDeleteThose really are gorgeous shoes.
ReplyDeleteLove the Fluevogs! You really rock these ones! I don't have any Fluevog heels myself, I only have boots, actually.
ReplyDeleteRe: Fluevog sizes: I fully agree that the sizing can be all over the place. Luckily you can also call any Fluevog store to ask for advice when ordering online. The sales assistants are always incredibly helpful and friendly!
killer shoes, love it!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis outfit is so perfect. And wonderfully topped off with the Fluevogs.
ReplyDeleteI had actually been considering the Coffee Ristretto before going for the Attention Paris, but you're right - they are sort of plain. I'm sure they're great for people who need a super plain shoe (with a secret special heel), but I am swooning over the tricolored look of the Sumatras.
I love the skirt!
ReplyDeleteHow is the new job going?
I may have to try a pair of Fluevog's. Have you ever ordered them online?
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the info on the stripes stuff--I had read about it a week ago and forgot who was doing it so thanks!
ReplyDeleteYou look so great and hope you like your new job. Its always wonderful at first...lol.
I've never gotten into the fluevog
thing...so what makes them so special? I mean, other than the cute style...
I want to be your neighbor so you can give me your hand me down shoes!! I love these, but then I love all your shoes!
ReplyDeleteDimi, thank you! Never heard of Fluevog? How sad.
ReplyDeleteBaxter, thanks, it is! I find the trick to vests is the fit - they have to be just right.
Thanks, Pam!
Scary, thanks - I love the red rhinestones.
Thanks, Rebecca!
Thanks, Waves. I have a couple of pairs of boots by them, but mostly shoes. Thank you so much for your advice on phoning Fluevog!
Nany, thank you - and thanks so much for commenting.
Thanks, Megan. I honestly think with your style that one of the other Fluevogs would suit your personality more.
Thanks, Cara! It's good - a lot to learn.
Terri, if you can find a store that carries them, so that you can try them on, for me, that's the best. I have not ordered any online - I would if it were a clearance shoe in a family that I already have a shoe from.
Thanks, Paula, and you're welcome! Fluevogs are beautifully made, supremely comfortable and just so gorgeous - what's not to like!
Ponch, ha, too bad for you!
