Gold Loafers + Hello Monday Linkup

So, funny story.  Naturalizer reached out to Caryl and I, separately, to see if we'd like to pick a shoe from their new Spring collection to style.  There are some super cute pairs in the new line, so it was a hard decision narrowing it down to just one.  I ultimately selected the gold leather loafers, because I can't pass up gold or loafers.

A few days later, I was watching Caryl's snapchat and saw that she picked the same pair!  Immediately I knew we needed to share how we styled them on a Monday linkup.

Not only are they insanely comfortable, but the timing of their arrival couldn't have been better.  Work has been a roller coaster these last couple weeks, and when I didn't think it could get more stressful, my manager announced he was leaving the company.  That was a rough day at work- he was a superb manager, advocate, and friend.  While new shoes will by no means fix my professional challenges, getting home from work that day to a package with pretty new shoes helped end the day on a better note.


Speaking of work, I'm inheriting a few new responsibilities, which is both exciting and scary.  I'll be in a lot more meetings, and as a result, I'm trying to dress a little nicer.  In IT, jeans and t-shirts are pretty standard, and I have gotten quite comfortable with that.  However, I feel kind of silly in a Nike sweatshirt sitting in a room full of people 10+ years my senior, expecting to be taken seriously.  So stay tuned for a few more polished looks ;)

  1. Ladies you look great in your gold loafers. You guys each styled them in your own unique way. I'm sorry to hear about your manager leaving, hopefully you'll keep in touch and your work load slows down. Hope you have a great week ahead.
