Happy Friday all...DopeGirlNatalie here. Hope your week is going great and you are enjoying the warmer weather, although currently we are experiencing a little winter in April. Hmmm, wonder where that came from as I tighten the scarf around my neck. LOL. For this post I chose to highlight the marriage of comfort and style in the form of the almighty moccasin.
Yes, ladies & gentlemen, you need a good pair of moccasins in your life! Keeping with the current trend, make sure they are a colorful pair at that. 2 of my favorite things are style and comfort so thank you so very much to the genius that created this wonderful treasure. We have all worn a pair of moccasins in our day whether in childhood years or older. It is no secret these are some of the most comfortable shoes out next to slippers aka house shoes. Often dubbed the driving shoe, numerous companies carry the moccasin as a staple such as Tods, Balenciaga, Tory Burch & Quoddy Trail and one can cost in excess of $600 but trust there are more affordable ones on the market. With summer around the corner, it would be beneficial to stock up on a few. This is my go to shoe for those extreme comfort days when a heel is not needed and a sandal just won't do. The perfect accent for a day of shopping or lunch in the park...pick a pair, a colorful pair and pop that color into your look. To all those that say "oh I have nothing to wear with this," I say to you, get a white or black tank, jeans and have a great day.
For those uber creative beings out there, be different, grab some fabric paint and add some colorful designs to a neutral pair or change the cording/string for a unique touch. Knowing there are some who say they can not do a flat shoe, you should...it will bless your life but thanks to Balenciaga you can have your have heel and moccasin too, see pic below. To be honest with you after seeing these beauties, I would rock them too...what true fashionista wouldn't???
<------ I KNOW RIGHT!!!!! Shoegasm...OK I am good now. I had to have a moment. When I get blessed with these, I promise I will still rock them with a tank and jeans...let the shoe speak by itself. The great thing about the moccasin is its universal and yes, MEN, you can experiment with the bold color trend. It's a beautiful thing seeing a man not afraid to incorporate color in his wardrobe....think white linen with a slate blue, mustard or red shoe. That is hot!!!!
So the moral of the story is experience the comfort & play up your colorful style with a funky pair of moccasins. Remember U NEED THIS N UR LIFE. Have an amazing weekend, I know I will. -DopeGirlNatalie
