These days, a shoe needs to have some pretty innovative design for me to take notice. The majority I've been seeing at department stores and online are the usual combination of black leather, studs or zippers. While I don't mind the (certainly ubiquitous) rough and tumble look, I've been looking for something a little more... demure. Basically, I just want something ladylike that doesn't remind me of my grandmother. That's why the Freshwater T-Straps by Chie Mihara really caught my eye. They have a retro feel with their t-strap styling, but are thoroughly modern with their cutout leather circle pattern. Wear them with jeans and a leather jacket for an unexpected surprise, or pair with your favorite sundress. An added plus? The design has all of the charm of a strand of vintage pearls, without looking like you dove headfirst into grandma's jewelry box.
