| In case you've been living under a rock for the last decade, this is a cork wedge. |
I know, tough to beat. However here's what I threw together to give these Women who know that men cannot resist these porous variation of the high heel.
Hat | Straw Fedora, $8.95 H&M
Shirt | Short-sleeve Linen button-up, Uniqlo $24.95
Shorts | White Linen Chino, H&M $24.95
Shoes | Boat Oxfords, Sperry $90
Accessories | Leather watch, Copper necklace, and oversized wayfarers (not pictured)
Everything is very light and airy because I wanted to look like a spring morning and also because we all know that Cork Wedge Season is also Sundress season, so light and airy is a must. The straw fedora is a mean look and if you open your eyes in NYC you will find that many people agree. Boston is coming around to the Spring fedora but you might get a look or two if you are outside the Newbury St. or Downtown Crossing areas.
When I wore this outfit down to SoHo on Memorial Day I didn't own this shirt, so I coupled it with a Lilac V-neck from Zara that worked out very nicely as well. Like any good outfit it's about commitment and in my opinion the Sperry Boat Oxfords just tie the whole outfit together. If you aren't ready for these shoes, a simple white canvas sneaker would suffice as well, but you should give these bad boys a look. The Cloud Series from Sperry is just amazing and possibly the most comfortable shoe I've ever put on, here's the same series in Brown and definitely my next purchase.

| If you don't get a little tingly looking at these bad boys, you need to check your pulse. |
So that's how to rock Memorial Day Weekend, or any spring afternoon where a walk is the activity of choice like a champion. So buy a pastel colored linen, wear a leather watch/bracelet to break it up, don't wear black, Swag the hell out of Spring and give every woman in a cork wedge that walks by something to look at.
Swag On
