STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Battle On In Gladiators

It’s fascinating to me how quickly trends come and go. I vaguely remember my mom and I strolling through the Nordstrom shoe department a couple years ago; we just had to stop and stare at these crazy looking sandals we saw. They appeared to lace all the way up to your knee, and we just looked at each other and laughed at how outrageous they seemed. Two years later, I am the proud owner of my very own gladiator sandals.

These sandals have been rocking the runway in Paris from Valentino to Stella McCartney. It’s safe to say they are a must-have for your summer wardrobe. The beautiful thing about these shoes is that they’re so outstanding that you don’t have to over-accessorize. Gladiator sandals do the talking and the walking. They’re perfect for when you want to rock that dressy romper or cute sundress you just bought, but just can’t stand the thought of wearing heels. Tall gladiator sandals are dressier than your average flat shoe.

This Fashionista’s outfit absolutely stopped me in my tracks. Tie-dye and gladiator sandals are two huge trends right now and this beauty mastered them both. If you only want to dip your toes into the tie-dye trend, go with black, just like the dress in this look. Black is so sleek and you just can’t go wrong with it. With two bold statements, such as tie-dye and gladiator sandals, it’s best to take it light with accessories. Her simple bracelets add a little sparkle to this outfit while keeping it casual. A lightweight dress such as this one and some gorgeous sandals can take you from running errands to a hot date in no time!

What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? “If I’m in a rush to get out the door, I just choose a big print or a bold pair of shoes so that I don’t have to spend as much time accessorizing or worrying about my hair!”
