53 WAYS TO WEAR A PAIR OF BROWN HEELED SANDALS

 Hello readers and visitors of this little digital place to call my own. As you  know, I like to promote fashion sustainability on my blog. There are many ways to be more sustainable.  One of them is shopping one's closet (something I always enjoyed). That may be why I like to put together these posts where I show you X ways to wear a item. Sometimes the number is 30, sometimes it is higher or lower. Anyhow regardless of how high or low the number of wears is, I find these posts worth sharing. Why I'm mentioning number 30? I do it because it is a sort of reference point for 'green fashion'. The basic idea is that you need to wear an item at least 30 times to make it sustainable.

30 wears challenge is this great movement that tries to promote fashion sustainability and reducing our carbon imprint by challenging us to wear an item 30 times. I think this idea is great because it promotes shopping our closet and making the most out of what we have. I think it is important (not just in fashion, but also in life) to be grateful and appreciate what we have instead of always wanting something else.  So, I had planned to do a 30 wear post for this pair of heeled brown sandals. However, what I discovered is that I have already worn this pair more than that. Browsing my archives, I discovered I have worn this pair of brown sandals fifty-three times (hence the title for this post- 53 ways to wear a pair of brown heeled sandals). Taken that I don't photograph every single outfit I wear, it is possible that the number is even higher than that. I don't remember how much I payed for them, but I remember they weren't expensive (bought in some local shop in Mostar). I'm pretty sure that the price is down to pennies per wear.

Thinking about it some more, it is hardly surprising I've worn this pair so much. The straps are made from leather and hence quite comfortable in the summer. The heel is high but the sandals come with a platform, meaning that the heels is actually shorter than it looks. In other words, these sandals make me taller but they are wonderfully comfortable to walk in. Small wonder I have worn them so much. I don't remember when exactly I bought this pair, I'm thinking maybe 3 or 4 summers ago. I'm sure I'll wear them at least a few more times in the future. Without further ado, here is how I wore them in the past. 

#1

#1 WITH A MATCHING BROWN CARAMEL BAG, VINTAGE SKIRT AND WHITE TUNICS. 

This was a fun outfit that I wouldn't mind repeating once summer returns (or maybe I could adjust it for autumn weather by adding a blazer). This white tunics will get its '30 or more wears' one of these days for sure.

#2
