The temps reached almost 80 degrees today, so I decided to fête the occasion by wearing a bright orange dress and bold fringe accessories. I’ve had this purse for a few years, so I was stoked to dust it off and pair it with my new fringe sandals.

Speaking of these sandals… aren’t they just so much fun?! And the best part is that they’re super comfortable.

Hahahaha! I kid! Sorry to play with your emotions like that, but these sandals definitely aren’t high on my comfort meter. Don’t get me wrong, they’re totally doable if you’re used to wearing high heels. They’re perfect for when you want to get dressed up for a date or a night out with the girls, but I definitely wouldn’t recommend any major strolling in these. All the same, I plan on getting plenty of wear out of these over the coming months (and will keep a pair of backup flats in my bag, just in case). Ahhh… the things I do for fashion.

So I’d like to know: do you often choose style over comfort when it comes to shoes, or do you favor practicality in your footwear?

P.S. I think it’s pretty clear which team I’m on, lol!
