Good morning and happy Monday!
As promised – how I styled my vintage Gucci sandals recently for a casual night out.
I started with a classic color palette.
Black is always elegant, always understated, and aways my first choice.
I interjected modern silhouettes.
The unique details of an Elizabeth and James exaggerated peplum top with frayed hem paired with J.Crew’s sleek, cropped jeans are visually interesting and provide the perfect counterbalance.
I added a fun pop of color.
It’s always nice to add an unexpected pop of color to a nearly monochromatic look and the addition of my light blue Longchamp bag and nails by Eve Snow fit the bill perfectly.
The finishing touch.
Gucci’s iconic wooden sandal, with it’s leather vamp and gold buckle and nailhead detail ground this outfit and create a chic, casual, modern look. Nothing vintage about it :)
Top: Elizabeth and James (similar/on sale!) // Denim // Bag: Longchamp (similar here and here and love this smaller cross body bag) // Sandals: Gucci (similar here) // Nail Polish // Necklace: Tiffany & Co.

I’m such a fan of black on black and I really like how the peplum kinda breaks things up a bit between the top and bottoms.
