I’ve been looking for fun statement sandals for a few days. I have my best friend’s wedding in a few months and since the ceremony is in the early afternoon, the outfit will be formal but leaning towards the casual side and I’m in need of striking sandals to add some fun to the outfit (still deciding of course)… so when I found these cuties I had to share them with you, what do you think? Details here: Topshop floral lace A-line dress $190, Valentino bag $2775, Karen Walker Number One sunglasses $250, Aquazzura ‘The Queen’ embellished snakeskin sandals $914.
