Moi Chaussures

Okay, so last fall I put all my spring/summer sandles in a garbage bag.  Next I placed this bag of shoe treasures by our front door for my hubby to place in our cave for safe keeping.  Oh I had some fabulous comfortable Born and BCBG wedge sandles in this bag that I had just brought back from the US from our holiday last summer. I had not even had a chance to wear most of them.

This same day we were also using these same black garbage bags to put unwanted clothing and shoes in to be donated.  Can you see where this is going?

Low and behold I have been searching for this bag of lovely shoes for over a month now since the weather has been so warm this spring in Lausanne.  I finally broke down and paid our babyitter to come by during the afternoon and watch the kids for FOUR hours while I tore our cave apart trying to find my bag of beautiful summer wedges.

The cave is now cleaned out, but still no bag of shoes to be found, BUT I did find an old bag of clothes that were suppose to be donated last fall. 

Now hubby is away on business and guess what he is bringing me back this weekend!

These COACH black wedges! Woo Hoo!

It is only one pair of shoes, but a fabulous comfortable pair and it matches one of my bags!  Always an upside to things!

I am keeping my eye out for someone wearing my 'accidentally donated' NEW wedge sandles around Lausanne!

Which Bag and Shoe Combo to Choose?

If you were going to wear this beautiful Monsoon evening dress to a wedding, which shoes and bag would you choose to wear from http://www.monsoon.co.uk/?


I am trying to help a friend pick out shoes and a bag to wear to a summer wedding. 
  • The first look is safe and classic to me, can't go wrong with this combo. 
  • The second look with the coral shoes and bag are so chic and hip, love this look.  It screams 'style'!
  • The third look with the black bag seems more sophisticated and sexy, great for an evening wedding. 
  • The fourth look is more summery and light feeling with the light shoe and bag. Perfect for a summer day wedding.
Which one would you choose?

UPDATE:  I added one more color combo of lilac to the choices, as my friend loved the idea of the splash of color with the dress, but felt the coral was a bit too bright.  The coral is a very warm color to wear with the grey dress and really stands out.  So I tried the dress with a pop of color in the cool family and think it's just the right amount of color, but not too bright.  She just ordered the lilac shoes and bag from Monsoon.  Can't wait till she has the entire outfit all put together.  Here is a peak below.
