I'm not in the habit of partying on a Monday night, but when duty calls, like it did for me earlier this week, I took the easy way out: a throw-on-and-go and a splashy pair of feather-trimmed . Done and done! I wasn't alone in my style cheat as another friend turned up in classic black trousers, a simple white sweater--and crazy bling-y slides! Letting our feet do the talking facilitated cocktail swilling! So, now more outfit-making sandals I love: these glinty flats, these tasseled slides, these vibrant raffia sandals, these sparkly gladiators, these embroidered --and all these gem-studded, plume-perfect , above.
