New Loot

Shirt: Vintage, thrifted, $1 // Cardi: Courtesy of Fossil // Shorts: TJMaxx, $13 // Leggings: Target, $5 // Shoes: F21, gift

As you probably already know, I don't really pay attention to designer fashion, but I fell hard for these Chloe boots when I saw them on other blogs.

I requested a slightly reminiscent pair for Christmas (these from Forever21) and couldn't wait to build an outfit around them. In keeping with the sporty feel of the booties, I went for a tomboyish look.

    Cute! But the real question is: are they painful? I have been resisting F21 shoe purchases, because I expect them to feel like walking around on bricks with some stapled on straps.

    oh, I really like how they look! I didn't realize their Chloe-ish-ness until now- are they painful?

    Let me get back to you guys on how comfortable the shoes are. With all the snow, I haven't been able to walk in them enough to know. They seem comfortable -- the faux leather is soft, they are wide so they don't pinch your toes and they have a platform, which makes the height manageable. We'll see how they do walking a long distance...

    Oh, I've had my eye on those shoes too! They are adorable! How are Forever 21 shoes in your opinion? I'm a 7.5 so what deters me is that they don't sell half sizes.. advice?

    Brittany -

    I don't own many pairs of F21 shoes, but this style definitely runs big! I usually wear a 6 or 6.5, so I wasn't sure which size to get. I got the 6, and they're a bit too big! If you're a 7.5, I bet a 7 would be perfect, at least for this shoe.
