In the same way that a purse can make or break an outfit, it can also be said for the right pair of shoes. Ebony recently made me realize that I did actually retain a decent number of Liz Lisa shoes even though to me it seemed like I had sold or thrown out the majority in my wardrobe downsize. Although I certainly own other brands of shoes, this week's features focused specifically on Liz Lisa because I think they have the best details worth featuring.
Despite preaching that the shoes can make the outfit, in most other "recommended coordinate" photos from other weeks, I purposefully didn't include shoes because I currently keep my footwear in the garage. It's just not convenient to bring them to where I take the photographs and I didn't want to think of this activity as a chore. I made exceptions for this week but I fully realize how much shoes can make the whole recommended coordinate pop.
First featured pair had to be something with details worthy of closeups and these Liz Lisa 3 ribbon pumps in pink fit the bill perfectly. I really admired the ribbon placement and the overall design of this shoe when it was first released. It reminded me more of the style of shoes Liz Lisa used to produce 4 years ago.
The pink color is actually pretty close to a neutral and they pair very easily with lots of different prints. I've chosen them for 2 different Japan trips (Spring 2019 and Winter 2019) for that reason.
All three colors easily work well with my wardrobe. The overall design feels pretty casual and I love them for a daytime look.
These shoes are great for travel but I also still wear them a ton to work. The pump design is classic but the ribbons keep them from being too boring. You can't beat a perfect color match with Liz Lisa items.
Up next, I knew I had to feature the Liz Lisa double ribbon clear heel sandals in white, yellow and pink. Obviously I loved them - I bought them in all three colors! I started with white because they seemed the most versatile, but because they were so comfy and cute, it only made sense to get other pairs. Eventually, I anticipate these filling the void when my Liz Lisa knot wedge sandals (see below) have to be thrown out due to age/wear.
Another set of shoes that I felt compelled to buy in more than one color and hold on to them despite downsizing - Liz Lisa 3-strap pumps in bordeaux and pink. These are both very much autumn colors and I loveeee my autumn wardrobe (despite Hawaii not actually having a real fall lol).
Mentioned above, these Liz Lisa knot wedge sandals in white, yellow and pink have looong been favorites of mine. I'm super sad that the leather is starting to peel very badly and I don't think they'll be wearable for very much longer. (It's pretty evident in many of the close up photos despite me trying to get creative with the angles.) The heel height is comfortable while still giving me 4+ inches and Liz Lisa just doesn't make them like this any more.
Last, but certainly not least, my beloved Liz Lisa ankle chain OTK boots in camel from 2012. These guys are old and don't get a lot of use but because of the humidity in Hawaii, the faux leather inside the top part of the boot shaft is peeling. Thankfully they still look pretty good from the outside and that's why I've been reluctant to toss them.
As you can probably tell, when I find a pair of shoes I like, I get them in all the colors I can lol. (I did actually own the 3 ribbon pumps in white initially but ended up selling them and almost bought the beige/pink version of the OTK boots as well but I was in the middle of my clean out.) For a future feature item spotlight, I definitely want to show some of my favorite non-Liz Lisa shoes as well!

Yes omg I'm so sad when I have to toss the shoes. Especially now that they're not releasing any similar styles. (It wasn't so bad when they would sell a variation every year!)
