There's a confession I have to make: I was a HUGE spice girls fan. Back in their heyday, my friends and I used to fight over who was whom. Baby Spice was a popular choice. Since I was kind of a bit of the tomboy back then, I naturally opted for sporty. These days me and my girls fight over who's Carrie or Samantha, and I AM SOO CARRIE (by the way). Hello? The girl who spent thousands on shoes but had no place of her own? So very me ...
Anyway. If Mel C. saw this outfit I'm wearing, she'd definitely be proud. These amazing Jeffrey Campbell Fords are SCREAMING "Sporty Spice" to me! Crazy platforms in front and chunky heels in back? COME ON!
Now, tell me what you want, what you really really want? These Fords are zig-a-zig, AHH, no??
To say that the nautical/sailor trend is on this spring is not quite right—it never went off. Every spring I see a new tweak to and cool variations of this style. As soon as I received these Jeffrey Campbell Ping Pongs, I couldn't help myself ... I had to create my own version.
Anchor shirt, check. Sailor hat, check. Nautical wedges, CHECK! I just had to add a pretty blazer and my version was done. I thought red was a pretty obvious jacket choice, so I chose coral because it compliments these rad, wickery platforms. (You have to give it to Jeffrey Campbell when it comes to lovely shoe surprises.)
Now all I need is a yacht to chill in and a tank of Cuba Libres, and I am good to go! Anchors aweigh!
