All the Frills: Poppy Barley Shoes

I have long coveted a pair of Poppy Barley shoes and recently I took the plunge and ordered these stunning flats. They are both easily the most expensive shoes I own, and the most comfortable. I really, really hope another pair is in my future.

 

Weekend Reading:
  • As someone who has acquired four caftans since March, this resonates


  • I had to practically beg for a dose of morphine on my third night in the hospital post C-section, so I related to this. Our medical system needs to do so much work when it comes to postpartum recovery


  • These recreations of tarot cards by a Haitian artists’ collective are breathtaking


  • I have an incredibly strong aversion to gender reveals


  • Obviously the passing of the indomitable RBG was a pretty shattering event. What happens over the next few months might be even more so.

Flats are anytime better than heels.

I love the rounded pointed toe! So great for elongating but not making your feet look huge, haha!

The shoes are gorgeous, and there are so many more tempting styles at Poppy Barley so I hope you get to grow your collection soon!

Oh the house dress. This is nothing new to me, though usually I opt for a sleeveless swing dress in whatever fabric is impervious to wrinkles. While I have a few, I tend to just wear the same one over and over, washing when I occasionally think about how long it's been since it was last washed...

Gender reveals are the worst. How about, just wait, and when the baby is born, it will be a super dramatic gender reveal. And then you get to think of names for both, and won't end up with a huge pile of pink or blue at your shower; people will be forced to shop outside gender stereotypes. Sounds pretty good to me.

For most things in fashion, I won't advocate paying top dollar. Sweaters pill, blouses get stained, jeans tear. But shoes. For shoes, paying a little more can make such an immense difference to how comfortable your feet are and it really is worth it. These flats are beautiful, and I do hope there is another pair in your future!
