Should I or Shouldn’t I…?

I am totally obsessed with these shoes:

Rebecca Minkoff Leather and Haircalf Wedge Sandals $272 at Saks

They are by my FAVORITE designer, Rebecca Minkoff, and come in both camel colored leather and black.  Here’s where I stumble (no pun intended with a 5″ platform!).  They aren’t really summer shoes because they have such a heavy design, and the open toe thing only goes so far in the fall and winter seasons in New England.   I’ve been trying to convince myself for several weeks now that I really will be a better person if I own these shoes, and they just went on sale, but something is holding me back.

Aren't they adorable from the back!

What do you think?  Are they worth it?  Would you wear these shoes and what would you wear them with?  Leave us a comment and let us know…



Mixing Styles: Rugged with Chic

Mixing styles and genres is a big trend this year.  Last week there was a feature in the Weekend edition of the Wall Street Journal discussing how the New York party/social crowd is wearing motorcycle jackets over their ball gowns and jean jackets with sophisticated cocktail dresses.  For a more real life version of this trend, take a casual T-shirt and throw on a sparkly “evening” necklace.  Try sequin harem pants with heels and  a jean jacket.

J. Crew has done a great job of positioning this trend (even if $600+ is a little much for pants from J. Crew!)  and Free People can always be counted on to pull together some amazing looks using a mix of casual and formal pieces.  I love these two looks from the Free People Soft Rebel collection:

What do you think?  Can the average Fashionable Housewife pull off this type of look?  Send us a comment and tell us what you think…
