While out thrifting the other day, I found the perfect addition to my shoe collection: penny loafers! These Barney's New York snakeskin beauties were too wonderful to pass up, and they only ran me $7.25. Once I brought the loafers back home to be introduced to their new closet-mates, however, I realized I had absolutely no idea how to wear them. The only thing I was sure of was that I needed to put pennies in them!

I decided that tradionally 'old-man' footwear would shine with a classic silhouette and quirky details. I went the menswear-inspired route and paired cuffed Alice and Olivia pants with a vintage cockatoo-printed tank.

Men around the world will shudder when they lay their eyes upon this outfit (judging by my boyfriend's reaction), but I personally think it's sartorial genius.
Who doesn't love a good cockatoo blouse??
You have no idea just how incredibly jealous I am right now - they are perfect! I would've paid the full price if I'd seen them, let alone $7!
ReplyDeleteI am loving the shoes and the blouse. Nice finds....
