You might have already heard about the “wear the wrong shoe” theory for a while now. I didn’t try it out for myself until the last few months. Basically, all you do is pair the “less obvious” shoe (what does “wrong” mean, anyway?!?) with an outfit it wouldn’t “make sense” with.

So for example, I’d probably pair this summery shirt dress with a sandal or other open-toed heel. But instead, boots!

These are old Marc Jacobs I've had for years.

Next, I tried it with this Neiwai pj set I recently shared in a weekend roundup. I’d normally pair these with flip flops… but orange clogs (old Dansko) — 🧡. Bonus: pin a rose in my hair! I also paired the clogs (here are some similar ones) with this Amazon onesie I’ve been obsessed with.
