Higher Ground

It is no secret that my comfort zone falls somewhere a few inches above the ground, just take a look at some of my past few shoe picks: Fendi’s Lucite Sandals, Givenchy’s Optical Print Wedges and McQueen’s Titanic Ballerina Pumps! D.I.E. for all. Moving right along with this high-as-heaven theme, I present a very summer-appropriate pair of Bottega Veneta Paille Raffia Wedges.

The ideal suitor to your next springtime soirée or summer barbecue, these neutral chunky soles will take any outfit to the next level—and turn heads along the way. Please do not be afraid of their podium-status height, but take comfort in the fact that platform wedges are actually easier to walk in than your average set of heels (plus much more stylish!). So take a leap of fashion faith, climb onto Bottega Veneta’s wedges and pair them with a warm weather uniform of your choosing. Maybe a free-fitting kaftan or high-waist shorts and a basic tee combo? Just some ideas 🙂 xoRZ
