#FabFeetFriday: Sole Mates & Style

We all know that money can’t buy love or happiness but it can buy you a ‘Sole Mate’ to match your style. A ‘mate’ that requires little effort to rock but commands attention no matter where you rock them.

These two sole mates are no exception to that rule.

Green Pumps = size 11, Aminah Abdul Jillil        Yellow & Gold = size 11, Privileged by J.C. Dossier purchased at Akira

Note: The Green Pumps run a size smaller. So the 11’s feel like a 10.

Where to find the shoes:

Green Aminah Abdul Jillil “Bow Pump” = aminahabduljillil.com, $215. Shipping takes 4-6 weeks. Runs small.

Yellow and Gold Privileged by J.C. Dossier Sandal = shopakira.com (also reference #FabFeetFriday post from two weeks ago for more details), $108.90 on sale for $76.00. True to size.

Now when I find a ‘Sole Mate’ I like to show them off. There are times when I let my sole mate do the talking and there are times when I like to spice it up and accessorize.

To spice up my #FabFeetFriday sole mates I mixed a few garments from my closet (namely my favorite skirt by Randall Hill) and paired them with clothing and accessories from Standout Style Boutique. Standout Style is a chic boutique located in Lakeview at 1419 W. Belmont Ave, a popular Chicago neighborhood.

Here’s the white blazer some of you have been waiting for. It is fabulous and is by local designer Shontay Pinder and available at Standout Style Boutique.

The boutique recently opened and caters to the contemporary woman with sizes ranging from 2-20. The store tag line is “offering head turning style without the sticker shock’ and they absolutely deliver on this brand promise. Clothing is priced under $150 on average. Not to mention the style and quality of clothing are amazing for the price point. As a stylist, author, and thrifty shopper owner Tamika Maria Price has a keen eye for fabulous, quality items that a woman with style on a budget can wear.

My niece found a fabulous pair of shades as well! She’s such a little diva. Pictured here with owner Tamika Price.

Tallistas you’re thinking ‘ok, that’s great news but is there anything in store for me.’ The answer is yes. There are a few items that cater to tall women as pictured above. The white blazer, blue skirt, along with a few midi skirts that are in store accommodate our height not to mention there are plenty of cute accessories. My curvy Tallistas will like the store as well because the sizes go up to size 20 or 2XL in various styles.

******Stay tuned because there is a special day in the works for my Tallistas to shop one of your favorite brands at Standout Style boutique.

Hint: It’s all about the Goddess in you!

P.S. – The blazer that I’m sure you love is 10% today and the designer will be in store at Standout Style Boutique.
