How I Wear MY PEACE - Sneaker Wedges
I finally caved in and bought some Sneaker Wedges
These are the latest trend.
Sneakers with an internal wedge heel.
In browsing the Internet,
the views are pretty mixed from headlinesstating
"Summer's Ugliest Trend? Sneaker Wedges Should be Banned!
"Summer's Ugliest Trend? Sneaker Wedges Should be Banned!
to various blog posts giving PRAISEs and TIPS on how to WEAR
The pair that started the Sneaker Wedge trend is Isabel Marant brand
Cost $649!
They cost $649 dollars.
Personally, I feel is ridiculous for shoes.
This weekend, a friend revealed to me that she bought two pairs.
She loves them but says they are uncomfortable.
Who buys $649 pair of shoes that you can't walk in?!
I like the shoes. But I'm not paying $649
I found a pair.

My Tips to Wearing Sneaker Wedges
Tip 1. Wear ankle length "skinny" jeans
Tip 2. Balance your "skinny" jeans with a loose blouse on top

Tip 3. Wear MY PEACE of jewelry Statement Necklace
Just kidding!
Wearing MY PEACE of jewelry is not a tip to wearing Sneaker Wedges
But it would not hurt :)

Can't go wrong with black & white basics pumped up with great shoes and fabulous jewelry!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are so right. B&W will never go out of style. Thank you!
DeleteDie Kette ist wunderschön, Zalina! Sie kommt auf der weißen Bluse besonders gut zur Geltung. Tolles Schnäppchen die Wedges. Über 600 Dollar würde ich für Schuhe auch nicht ausgeben.
ReplyDeleteLieben Gruss von Sabine
Ja. Ist sehr loco! :) Ich habe mir auf Schuhe vielleicht 100 Dollar ausgegeben.
DeleteGlad you took the plunge, Zalina - these look so cool. And your jewelry does elevate everything! Thanks for sharing with Vis Monday.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Patti. I like the word "elevate".
Deletedu bist ganz wundervoll, liebe zalina! voller energie in schwarz und weiß. und ich liebe deinen schmuck:)
ReplyDeletexxx birgit
danke für dein mixit!
Danke, birgit.
DeleteLiebe Zalina du siehst wieder umwerfend aus .Der Schmuck er ist toll.
ReplyDeleteLieben Gruß Annette
awwww, danke Annette. "Umwerfend" ist ein neues deutsches Wort fuer mich. Ich musste das Wort aufzusehen. :) Danke fuer das Betrachten meiner Blog.
DeleteI love wedge sneakers.. I have a pair myself. I too didn't want to pay hundreds for Isabel Marant's so I bought from Aldo at 1/6th of the price. Yours is even better for 2 reasons. One it being $30 (now, that's a bargain!) and another that it looks exactly like Marant's! Thanks for dropping by my blog Zalina, you made my day :)

Thanks so much! I hope you like your sneaker wedges. I love mine. I will stop by your blog more often. :)
DeleteProportion is key and you've unlocked it! Love the loose top, skinny jeans with your wedge sneaks. I don't know that I could cough up $650 on a trendy shoes. Glad you found an affordable alternative.
ReplyDeleteThe star of the show however is your necklace. Talk about a bold statement piece. It looks stunning - I like how you've mixed it in with jeans yet it still is such a visual stand out.
Thank you, Bella Q. You've inspired me to be "bold". If I am going to wear something, then WEAR IT PROUDLY. Best regards to you.
DeleteWhen I first saw sneaker wedges I thought they were pretty ugly, but some of them look okay. I like yours because the heels not too big, so the overall shape still looks good. And you're right, those skinny jeans and a loose top are the way to go. Beautiful necklace, and I love the bag, too! Looking good!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Val. If you look at the Isabel Marant brand, they are a little too gaudy for me, plus they are $649. In my line of work, which is college administration, you can't dress too flashy; besides it's not my style. One must feel comfortable.
DeleteSuper cute! I want a pair and everyone says how comfortable they are. Definitely going on my list. Love the necklace too. Beautiful work!
ReplyDeleteThank you! They are comfy. They give you enough height without feeling like you are going to tip over. Also, give great extension to your legs.
DeleteLove your kicks! I've sort of been looking for some like these to wear next fall ... too hot here for these, at least on me during summer! Love your necklace, as well. You are such a talent!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Jan. As for the shoes, they are pretty airy. You should try some on for fun.
DeleteLove the sneakers on you!! I want to get a pair but i dont know if they'll fit im my wardrobe.

ReplyDeleteYou should go and try a few on for the fun of it. I think they fit anyone's wardrobe. When you feel like going casual, and you are preparing to put on a pair of flat tennis shoes, instead slip these on. :)
DeleteLove your sneakers and how you wear them! I liked this trend for about a year then caved in and bought some this time last year - they're by ASOS and cost just a bit more than yours - I really couldn't see the point of paying that much either! I wear mine mostly under my wide linen trousers for the Summer - you know in UK, we rarely get proper Summer temperatures :-)
ReplyDeleteYour necklace is just beautiful! I love it!
Thank you about the necklace.
DeleteI considered buying online the ASOS, but they were all sold out. Sounds like a really cool way to wear your sneaker wedges.
Really pretty look ;)
