Build the Outfit #5

Manolo says, this week, the Manolo’s Build the Outfit contest is sponsored by the Manolo’s good friends at the Tsubo, the makers of the very stylish and amusing casual shoes.

Naturally, because of this kindness the Manolo has chosen the pair of the sportif Tsubos around which you, the gifted amateur stylists, shall build the outfit.

Above you see the Zibal by Tsubo in the color scheme described as the Denim/Ice Blue/Emerald, which the Manolo finds to be not only attractive but also redolent of the certain sort of sporty young woman, one who has the carefree and somewhat charmingly oddball manner.

The Manolo now asks you to build the outfit for this hypothetical young woman, using this shoe as the start.

Please, as is our custom, post your entries at the Manolo’s Super Fantastic Forums.

The contest will end on Saturday, when the Manolo will pick the winner, who will receive the gift certificate good for the pair of shoes from the Tsubo!

UPDATE: In response to the question left by one of the Manolo’s internet friends, the Manolo has decided to allow any color of the Tsubo Zibal you desire!

Look! Here is the Zibal in the handsome blood orange color…

Or in the Putty/Red, which is the favorite of the Manolo’s amanuensis.

So, use the color combination you prefer, and let the thousand outfits bloom!

Tsubo!

    Does the Manolo require us to use the color choice he has selected for the super excellent shoes of the Tsubo?




  2. Manolo the Shoeblogger Says:

    Ayyyy! The excellent question!

    The Manolo has taken the executive decision to open the competition up to any color combination offered by the Tsubo.

    Let the thousand outfits bloom!

    I am looking forward to this week’s answers! I have been eyeing the blood orange pair for months, unable to decide if I can work them into my weekend wardrobe — so I am deeply interested in what folks come up with.




  4. Ms. Berry Says:

    Ah, Manolo! Is it true that you don’t do your own typing?




  5. Manolo the Shoeblogger Says:

    The Manolo does all of the typing for his blog, but he has the chief assistant who helps him with many other aspects of his business and life.




  6. Nora Says:

    The word is ‘amanuensis’




  7. Manolo the Shoeblogger Says:

    Ayyyyyy! Once again the Manolo is undone by his inability to spell! Many thanks to the Nora for pointing out this error. It is now corrected.

    I think it is lovely that you use words like “amanuensis”, especially if I have to look them up. I have seen the word before but could not remember what it meant. It’s always good to learn new things.
    PS I am loving my pink “Manolo says” t-shirt.




  10. Ms. Berry Says:

    Manolo, please be extend my regards to the young assistant, and thank him for me for providing services that allow you to spend more time entertaining the readers of this blog.
