With the time change, things to get done at work, domestic duties and a few events I am juggling this week, the days are certainly flying by. Being on the go means I&#8217;ve gotta have functional and comfortable clothing. Here in South Florida, you can&#8217;t really be comfortable if you&#8217;re hot&#8211; in fact nothing can stop me in my tracks quicker than getting overwhelmed by the heat. For this reason, I wear a lot of sheer (and\/or sleeveless) blouses, skirts, and sandals. And with a busy week and busy day like today, I didn&#8217;t think twice as I got dressed this morning.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been lusting over the <a href=\"http:\/\/rstyle.me\/n\/gj9pnk96n\" target=\"_blank\">Isabel Marant Carol studded sandals<\/a> for some time now, and with a price point over $1000, they were nothing more than a footwear dream. Thankfully, a more realistic price-point pair waltzed into my life via a care package yesterday from Charlotte Russe. While they aren&#8217;t decked in crystals and the leather is vegan (save the animals!), they are the look I wanted and at <a href=\"http:\/\/rstyle.me\/n\/gj9e2k96n\" target=\"_blank\">a fraction of the price<\/a>. I couldn&#8217;t wait to wear them.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_2790.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4637\" src=\"http:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_2790.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_2790\" width=\"571\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_2790.jpg 571w, https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_2790-214x300.jpg 214w, https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_2790-428x600.jpg 428w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 571px) 100vw, 571px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><!--more--> <a href=\"http:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_2792.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4638\" src=\"http:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_2792.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_2792\" width=\"571\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_2792.jpg 571w, https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_2792-214x300.jpg 214w, https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_2792-428x600.jpg 428w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 571px) 100vw, 571px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_2784.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4639\" src=\"http:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_2784.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_2784\" width=\"572\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_2784.jpg 572w, https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_2784-214x300.jpg 214w, https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_2784-429x600.jpg 429w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 572px) 100vw, 572px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_2794.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4640\" src=\"http:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_2794.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_2794\" width=\"571\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_2794.jpg 571w, https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_2794-214x300.jpg 214w, https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_2794-428x600.jpg 428w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 571px) 100vw, 571px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_2796.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4641\" src=\"http:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_2796.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_2796\" width=\"800\" height=\"572\" srcset=\"https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_2796.jpg 800w, https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_2796-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_2796-600x429.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a>For reference, these are the original sandals, spotted on many stylish feet over the last year, such as Chiara Ferragni&#8217;s:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/chiara-ferragni-gallery.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4643\" src=\"http:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/chiara-ferragni-gallery.jpg\" alt=\"chiara-ferragni-gallery\" width=\"433\" height=\"650\" srcset=\"https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/chiara-ferragni-gallery.jpg 433w, https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/chiara-ferragni-gallery-199x300.jpg 199w, https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/chiara-ferragni-gallery-399x600.jpg 399w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 433px) 100vw, 433px\" \/><\/a> <em>On moi: H&amp;M blouse, <a href=\"http:\/\/rstyle.me\/n\/gka36k96n\" target=\"_blank\">ASOS skirt<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/rstyle.me\/n\/gj9e2k96n\" target=\"_blank\">Charlotte Russe sandals<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/rstyle.me\/~1gEhk\" target=\"_blank\">Sole Society bag<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/rstyle.me\/~1JyrC\" target=\"_blank\">Gucci sunnies<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It already seems like it&#8217;s been a crazy week, am I right?
