Spring break: coral + tweed

coral pumps1

Sole Society Jenn heels c/o (also in wedge form), LOFT blouse (old)
Uniqueen jacket (old, similar), Gap petite jeans (similar)

There’s currently nowhere to take outfit pics in my neighborhood with snowbanks piled higher than my head, so I’m temporarily escaping to a spring state of mind! This is a typical casual Friday look for me (always change my shoes at work after commuting), and grey or navy pants can easily be subbed in for the rest of the workweek. I first posted about these Sole Society “Jenn” heels last spring and again here as part of a summer outfit. They were sold out last year so I was happy to see they just got restocked in coral suede and this cute haircalf leopard (aka the dark camel multi). If you don’t own a pair of leopard-print pumps yet, they are surprisingly the most versatile “neutral” shoe and this option looks good for someone seeking a stylish lower heel. And they come in sz 4!
coral pumps

I love my share of sky-high heels but sometimes you just want a more sensible, lower pump. A lot of low and mid-heels skew on the matronly side but I’ve been liking Sole Society’s selection in youthful colors and fun prints. Fit-wise, I usually wear 5 or 5.5 and took a size 5 in the Jenn.
coral pumps tweed jacket2

I usually refer back to my trusty colorwheel when styling coral – as part of the orange family, I’d pair it with neighboring colors red/pink or yellow for a tropical getaway look, or with shades of complementary blue for more everyday pairings. Grey didn’t get a spot on the wheel but I really love that with coral as well for a softer look.

For those less familiar with shoe terminology, “d’orsay” refers to a cutout style that reveals the arch of your foot. I own two pairs and noticed those styles seem to be a tad more flattering on shorter legs vs. a regular pump in the same heel height. After a closer look I realize it’s certainly not rocket science – since your arch is exposed in a d’orsay shoe (compared to a regular pump where there is material on both sides), the extra inch of exposed foot gets added on visually to the leg line. This is a little more evident when worn bare-legged with skirts or dresses. I like the cutout simply for the design, but will happily take an extra inch to the legs as well!

    Hi Jean, I'm looking to purchase a navy blue coach court bag (9870) on ebay, just like yours. However, most of the navy blue options are colors close to dark dark blue, almost black. I'm just wondering whether the bag you own is truly blue or dark blue in color. Appreciate you answering 🙂 Have a great day!

    Hi Jean!

    I love these shoes, and was wondering how you feel about the stability (compared to the Anneke, with the ankle strap).

    Thanks!

    Jean you always look great, I love that jacket on you.

    Do you have any tips for wearing crop pants? They're tricky for petites, I've just about given up on them but there are so many cute styles being shown for spring and summer it makes me want to try again. I wish you'd do a post about crops this spring.

    I am always impressed by your color choices. There was a comment about how you keep your feet from sliding forward and I would also like to know if there is a way. I have these beautiful mint-colored d'orsay pumps that I want to give more attention to, but when I wear them, I'm just a hobbly mess. Please divulge your secrets, Jean!

    Hi Jean, How do you keep your feet from sliding forward in pumps and wedges? I prefer to wear liners or sheer stocking sock with my pumps/wedges and even though the shoe fits me perfectly, my feet always slides forwards squishing my toes. Any kind of shoe liner that has worked for you or do you generally not wear any kind of socks with pumps?

    I had typed a whole thing, which got erased somehow. Basically a rant on why doesn't Sole Society restock the Jenn in the small sizes (<5) and release new colors for spring. I'd love to see a nude leather (not suede, but would be great if the suede were restocked as well), blush, and pastel blue.

    More interestingly, here is a promo code I just got for 50% off at Loft – stylewin50 – if anyone can use it. Enjoy.

    Love this look, very classy! I find the d'orsay styles generally run half a size larger for me. Maybe because a larger part is cut out in the shoes? Nevertheless, I do love how the d'orsay style lengthen the legs.
