Build the Outfit #3
Manolo says, it is time once again to play Build the Outfit!
This time, the challenge is the opposite of the first week, which was then to build the outfit that would go with the exceedingly colorful and expensive shoes.
This week, the Manolo asks you to build the outfit to go with the more restrained and affordable shoe, the Lala from the Al-Amirah, the classic peep-toe, ballet flat.
The best part of this contest is the prize, the Laura Vanderhook the designer has graciously provided the gift certificate for one pair of the shoes from the Al-Amirah catalog.
So, rush off to the Manolo’s Super Fantastic Forums and post your outfit there. At the end of the week, the Manolo will award the prize to what he thinks is the best one.

I don’t get the peep-toe phenomenon, but then I didn’t get the “strappy sandals with everything” movement either. I have a full-time job, a part-time job, and a house and family to take care of. Anything that can only be worn with a fresh pedicure is automatically off my list. These lovely shoes are marred by the gratuitous peep-toe, in my opinion.

Amen, Livia!
Only I have a different reason–ugly feet! :)

I am thinking how nice these shoes would look w/a natural flax minimal dress & a pair of amber earrings, w/ one’s hair twisted up w/one black laquered chopstick tipped in jet, but it is TOO HOT to contmplate further. Perhaps after the sun starts to go down & the nightingales begin their tune while the gardenias respire. Ahhh, Manolo, the aimlessjoys must get back to work today. Have a wonderful day!
