At first, I thought these were kind of questionable – they’re definitely not on par with the T-strap sky-high clogs I posted yesterday by Swedish Hasbeens – but they’re growing on me. I was immediately attracted to the cone heel, and I love the slightly distressed look of the leather, but I’m on the fence with the knit top. I do think they would be cute with the right outfit, but I wish they were more of a “classic” clog, without the knit top because I really do love that heel…
Available at Pixie Market – for now, everything there tends to sell out super-fast!
Here’s an outfit picture from the site to see how they styled them. What do you think?
The recent movement in fashion & style towards slouchy tops and baggy jeans reminds me a little of the unfortunate fashion period that was the early 1990′s that I muddled through while away at college. I’ve finally come to terms with the fact that I’m old enough to be experiencing “trends” the second time around, and am learning to try and embrace them. And even try them out. (*gasp*)
These “Biggies” by Mary Meyer have been popping up at all my favorite boutiques lately, and I’m intrigued. I’ve actually been obsessing over this one, the Sun Ray print, at Oak for a week or so:
 Mary Meyer Sun Ray Biggie at Oak |  Mary Meyer Snake Dance Biggie |
Mary Meyer Diamond Biggie at Anica
Mary Meyer Diamond Biggie at Pixie Market
**Mary Meyer’s site has most of these prints in different colors, including a lovely cobalt blue. She also shows them styled with belts over leggings. very cute!
I can’t really identify what it is that I love so much about these. Maybe it’s the desire to just sometimes wear something NOT body-hugging, that’s also comfortable & cute. But as in the early 90′s, I know better than to think this style would be flattering on me in the least; I have a pear-shaped body and look much better when I call attention to my small waist. If I had skinny legs and could wear leggings, I’d jump at one of these to wear belted with leggings & flats, but I’m not quite there yet. Maybe with a pair of flare leg jeans and platform sandals?
What do you think? How would you wear a Biggie? or would you wear one at all?
I am insanely in love with this cotton “neck piece” by Necklush at Pixie Market. It’s much more than a necklace, but not quite a scarf (and not as annoying when it’s 80 degrees out – yes, Hollywood “starlets” I’m talking to you…). How awesome would this look to spice up a white t-shirt and jeans, or a tank dress this Summer? Too awesome for words.
I’m really not a big fan of gladiator sandals, especially not on me. I don’t have any ankles per-se, my foot ends where my thick calves begin – so I need a thong type sandal for the most flattering look. Anyway, they can look nice on others, but I generally prefer a simpler style over those with lots of buckles and straps.
This new sandal by Mogil at Pixie Market is my favorite gladiator-type sandal by far. The color is fabulous; you don’t see many gray sandals, the open criss-cross weave is unique, and I think more flattering than horizontal straps across the foot.
There’s also a heeled version of this sandal in brown, but I really prefer flat sandals in this style. Mogil also has a fantastic selection of handbags at Pixie Market. They’re very obviously 80′s inspired, but in a tasteful way, and are totally workable in a contemporary wardrobe. My favorite is this oversized clutch:
This mini clutch is also nice:
