I know this skirt's hold-the-phone amazing, but can I just take a second to tell you about my shoes? I've been looking for the perfect nude heel for what feels like FOREVER—something simple, but still cooler than the default nude stiletto of every Bachelor contestant ever—and I think these are it.

The mule shape and the added ankle strap make them more fashion-y, which I love, but they're still subtle enough to not distract from the rest of my outfit when the reason I was reaching for a nude shoe in the first place was that I wanted something quiet. Basically, they're awesome—as was the fact that they were hugely marked down on the Barneys warehouse site when I bought them.
