Last month, I was asked to participate in Marshalls’ Fall Challenge: use $100 to create a complete fall look that reflected one of the season’s trends – color, prints or ladylike with an edge. Of course I chose ladylike with an edge, and off I went to Marshalls on Sixth Avenue in Manhattan, with my best friend Josh.
Almost immediately, he busted out this stunning, shimmering lace dress. I think his reasoning was: it’s sparkling lace. Alex will love this.
And love it I did. Though I tried other options, nothing could hold a candle to this sweet number.
We then spent about an hour in Marshalls ginormous shoe section, trying to find the perfect match for my perfect dress. It wasn’t easy – I wanted them all! Patent platforms from Jessica Simpson, feathery pumps from Kate Spade, and much more. It was shoe heaven.
But finally I settled on these suede platforms, which add just enough edge to the delicate dress. They are the kind of heel that will work with just about anything, and I’m so glad to have them in my closet.
I tied the look together with simple accessories – a vintage belt, DIY gold drop earrings, and a resin flower headband over {my very sad attempt at} a beehive hairdo. Voila!
