But the way you style them is far from basic, my friend! The caramel color is lovely and I love the ombre effect of the leather as well. It gives them a bit of a distressed and much-loved vibe! And that dress is amazing! I love the colors and the print and the brown/caramel accessories really give it a unique flavor.
