Forget what anyone else has told you. The most ambitious crossover? Feather shoes. Or more specifically, for today, jumpsuits + feather shoes.
Here’s the thing: clear heels and feathers, you might think “lady of the night”. They’re so fun. BUT, can be tricky to style. (Though me being me, I say just wear them with what you love.) My solution? Pair them with a tux inspired jumpsuit. One could argue with a neckline like this, it’s not exactly conservative, but it balances the fun shoe.
I love that none of the colors “match” but they go together. I love that tuxes are thought of as buttoned up, feathers as fun, and jumpsuits as throw on and go; and together it’s a showstopper.
Because, if you’re going to have feathers, have Jumpsuit + Feathers!
Feather shoes may seem like a lot, but I love the sense of play that they bring to anything. You don’t have to dress them up (or pair them with a jumpsuit). I love these with little white dresses and skirts (they’re a thing) and jeans with a t-shirt.
And loves, these aren’t just any feather shoes. They’re Brother Vellies. That means that they’re ethically made, support women and kids, support trade in Africa, and you know–they’re gorgeous.
A little about Brother Vellies and these feather shoes:
Brother Vellies was founded by Aurora James with the goal of introducing the rest of the world to her favorite traditional African footwear, while also creating and sustaining artisanal jobs within Africa. Handmade in South Africa, Ethiopia, Kenya and Morocco, Brother Vellies creates boots, shoes and sandals in styles that maintain the spirit and durability of their ancestral counterparts.
You can buy the feather numbers here and so many more amazing styles at Brother Vellies. I just love them!
I love tux jumpsuits. And jumpsuits. See here and here. What I love about this tux jumpsuit is that it’s a classic (and you could wear something under or over the top) and a bit sexy. It looks great with flats, sneakers, or heels.
I made a friend take these pics on this street in Beverly Hills because sometimes I can’t resist being a basic blogger. Wearing the feather shoes with a tux jumpsuit is because I can’t resist outfits that shake things up.
You know I love a great juxatipositon.
