My top here is actually two shirts put together. I layered a sheer long sleeve black top under my peplum top. I found this amazing peplum long sleeve at Nordstrom by Hinge. Its gorgeous and comes in black or red and is $78.
I bought the pants a long time ago at Bebe...they don't really carry pants like that anymore. I found a cute pair of grey trousers from Asos for only $21! Really, any pants would work with this outfit, from dress trousers to skinny jeans. I was having a dress up moment, but this would be great with jeans for an everyday look. In fact, I may have to try that too!
And now for my shoes! These were just plain black pointy toe pumps before. But I have a couple pairs of black heels so I thought, why not try sometime crazy! I read on another blog about painting the toes of your shoes for a cap toe effect. The blogger had painted suede wedges so I wasn't sure about my leather heels. I asked a sales lady at JoAnn Fabrics and she clearly thought I was nuts. I'm sure she could tell that I did not belong in that store. But I ignored her advice that you can't paint leather and bought the gold paint anyways. Well...it worked like a charm! I just put a piece of scotch tape across the shoes and painted the toes up to the tape. I think I did 3 layers and then added a layer of outdoor sealant, just in case rain or snow somehow has an effect on the paint. They have lasted thru a walk in New York City so mission accomplished!
If you like the shoes but not the work, here is a finished product for sale. They are from Mia on Piperlime foor $69. Pretty close huh? :-)
