OOTD 10.17.09: The Versatile {Cranberry} Valda


If you have any reservations about this cute little flat in this raspberry hue, let me just tell you I've found it goes with soooo much in my closet.  I love it with browns, camel, grays, and even J Crew's amber and mustard-y colors.  Would be great with navy too.  Colorful shoes or handbags are the easiest way I know to add a little splash of interest to my usual basic everyday jeans/white tee shirt/cardi or jacket combo.

the Valdas with an assortment of J Crew sweaters

And I wore them for the first time last night for a casual dinner and football-watching with friends:

Target pointelle tie cardi in brown, ON tee in white, Vigoss jeans, Nordstrom pashmina, Valda flats

I also ran out this morning to buy another fabbie Target shoe that I decided I just had to have.  Review coming soon!

  1. I love those shoes! I've been using some of the same color combos as well. I'm loving gray and an acid yellow and magenta. I may have to see if my local Targay has those.

  6. mrs.a - I can't vouch for these as I haven't ordered, but I've seen some really pretty scarves at the animal rescue site shop of all places. Here is the link for some alpaca scarves that look a lot like the classic pashmina and are under $25: http://tinyurl.com/yk5he5q Also keep checking with Target, ON and ATL. They seem to get great scarves in too and really reasonable prices. The pink pashmina is from maybe 3 years ago. That checked sweater is gray/white from J Crew last year :)
    Daily Lily - adorable outfit you put together! I love the Speedy :)
    Katherine - thanks so much!
    Dishy Decorator - thanks. Love that color combo - I know as a decorator you know your colors! :)

  9. I have those shoes in black. I wish that I would have bought them in the cranberry though. I was being safe because I thought that I would not be able to pair them with anything..but you proved that you can! Thanks for the inspiration!
