This summer, I got your back! I’ve teamed up with DSW to give you some ideas on chic summer outfits and a chance to win $250 DSW Gift Card – yes, it’s pretty amazing! I still remember when I used to work a block away from DSW – I loved shopping there during my lunch break and finding a pair or two or three of some really awesome shoes! I loved it even more when I got to tell my colleagues how much I got the shoes for! Who doesn’t like a little shop haul brag, right?!
I also love it when a retailer offers a good rewards program. There are a few good ones out there, and the DSW Rewards makes the cut! A simple sign-up can earn you free shipping, exclusive offers, double-points rewards, and you can even create a wish list to share with your friends & family – so helpful during special
occasions and holidays. If you shop for shoes often anyway, this is a good one to get on.
Alright, to give you some ideas what shoes to wear this summer – and how to wear it, I created three sets of outfit from Polyvore. I hope this will inspire you to look chic under the sun! And remember, check out the giveaway details at the end of this post – $250 goes a long way in DSW!
THE EVERYDAY SANDAL – Crown Vintage Avery Bootie, $70. The caramel brown and stacked heels will make this pair of sandals easy and comfortable to wear everyday! The open toe and heels are subtle, makes it appropriate for office and play. Pair it with pattern skirts, floral shorts, flowy dresses, boyfriend jeans, and really, anything goes!
SHOP: Crown Vintage Avery Bootie | Zara Printed Neoprene Skirt | J.Crew Floral Boy Shorts | Dorothy Perkins Blush Pleated Midi Skirts | Isabel Marant Obira Vintage Ruffle Dress | J.Crew Destroyed Boyfriend Jeans
WEEKEND CASUAL – Converse Chuck Taylor, $45. Visiting farmers market and strolling along the Ocean Beach are what I’m dreaming of for the summer weekends. Not to mention, owning a pair of classic sneakers like the Chuck Taylor is almost inevitable in SF.
SHOP: Converse Chuck Taylor | Madewell Chambray Romper | Frends Layla Headphones | Chanel CC Cream SPF 30 | Givenchy Clay Pink Leather Bracelet | Mark And Graham Canvas with Leather Tote | Tory Burch Panama Sunglasses
SUMMER CHIC – Franco Sarto Vonda Flat Sandal, $60. I never thought I’d wear black for summer, but this “back-to-basics” hue has never been more chic! The lightweight and simple ankle-strap will make you want to wear this sandal all summer long.
SHOP: Franco Sarto Vonda Flat Sandal | A.P.C. Printed Jumpsuit | Rag & Bone Floppy Brim Fedora | Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick in Nectar Apricot | Sophie Hulme Buckled Leather Tote Bag | Nasty Gal Stripe Shades
