Styling My Sarah Flint Grear Sandals

Body Suit || Skirt || Sandals ($100 of with code BAKATIE50) || Clutch || Earrings || Bracelet

The Sunshine State is slowly making its way back to normalcy. I’m not in any particular hurry, because I’d rather be safe than sorry, but shopping for pieces to wear our when we are helps me cope. The number one thing on a Florida girls’ shopping list is typically a great pair of sandals, especially with summer fast approaching. Even though I’ve had hundreds of pairs of sandals in my day, I’ve noticed myself starting to dwindle it down to key quality pieces that will last for seasons to come.

The top pick on that list? Well, it would have to be these sweet Grear Sandals from Sarah Flint. The wrapped tie-detail gives it both a Grecian and boho style that I can’t help but gravitate towards. Better still the Grear has a surprising amount of support. I’ve worn them on nearly every walk in the neighborhood since they arrived on my door step and there was no ‘breaking in’ period. It’s such a great peace of mind to be able to slip on a new pair of sandals and go.

How you style these versatile sandals, made from Vanchetta leather on the Amalfi Coast of Italy, is truly as unique as each woman. I’ve had them for just a few weeks and have already styled them with midi skirts, maxi dresses, white jeans, and denim shorts. They magically work with everything I try on. The mainstay colors are white, black, tan, and silver, making them very versatile. They recently released a limited edition baby pink pair, serving as a sweet pop of color.

My favorite way to wear my Grear Sandals would have to be with flowing midi skirts. The length of the skirt is so flattering with the lace up straps. Although they seem so effortless and carefree, the silver color of my sandals gives them a slight touch of elegance. When things are back to normal, I plan on wearing these for every occasion. From long work days to exciting date nights on the town, I’m ready to stay on my feet and dance the night away. Always the traveler, this may be the one pair of shoes I will need to pack along with me.

Do you want more than my word for it? Sarah Flint has a loyal fan club made up of some the chicest women in the world. Halle Berry, Cindy Crawford, and Selma Blair are just a handful on that list. Most notably, the former duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle has been a long time fan, causing quite a stir each time she wears them out. I predict, now that she’s living in California again, we’ll be seeing her Grear Sandals a lot more often.

I keep adding Sarah Flint to my wardrobe because it’s a brand that I truly believe in. Recently, I’ve gotten to know so many people on the Sarah Flint team, including Sarah herself, and loving being able to work with a company that supports women. To experience this superior shoe brand for yourself, I invite you to buy a pair or two. For $100 off your first order, be sure to use the code BAKATIE50. You’ll absolutely love them every step of the way.

Beautiful Shades of Orange

Dress (extended sizes)|| Similar Heels || Clutch || Earrings || Bracelet

Despite the name of my blog, orange isn’t a color I normally gravitate towards. I think it must have something to do with my already orange skin tone and the fear of looking washed out. That being said, I’ve noticed myself shopping for more pieces in this bright and cheerful color. It raises my spirits in this uncertain time and feels like I’m wearing a ray of sunshine. Fun fact though, if you would have asked 4th grade me about my favorite color, it was orange all the way. For a fresh update to your wardrobe, here are some of my favorite orange pieces I would have loved in my childhood.

GAL MEETS GLAM Zinnia Dress

If you want to incorporate a new color into your rotation, sometimes its best to just take the plunge and go for a bold dress. This little number from Gal Meets Glam makes a big statement in a ladylike design. The bow details are just darling and the deeper hue will make almost anyone’s tan pop.

HEREU Mini Tote Bag

It’s no secret that I have a deep love for all things rattan and wicker. This sweet mini bag has a fun orange accent and a long strap for functionality. It would make for the perfect pop against a stark white outfit. It’s getting dangerously close to making its way home.

H&M Linen Blend Wrap Skirt

I fell in love with this skirt the moment I laid eyes on it. Actually, I had a pair of capris in almost the same print when I was a kid. That just goes to show how little my style has actually changed in the past twenty years. Nowadays, this skirt would be perfect with a simple white tank top and brown sandals.

BØRN Betti Loafers

For whatever reason, I’ve had a pair of orange Tod loafers on my wish list. These shoes evoke that same kind of style, but at a fraction of the cost. As an added bonus, because they are Børn, you know they are going to be incredibly comfortable.

CLOSED Button Down Shirt Dress

I clearly have a beach day on my mind. I’ve been daydreaming of future resort vacations and shopping for swimsuits and coverups. I love the fun orange stripes on this particular button down. It’s even oversized for when you want to throw it on and head to the resort’s bar.

BUNNY EYEZ Reading Glasses

I’ve been using my blue lens glasses more and more. Thank goodness for them because I’ve been spending so much time staring at the computer every day. These reading glasses serve as a great accessory, even if you’re the only person who will see you wear them.

KULE Striped Shorts

Another great quarantine piece would be this pair of athletic inspired shorts. I’ve had a few t-shirts from this brand, so I can vouch for how comfortable they are. The terry material is so soft and is yet another way of feeling like you’re wearing a pair of pajamas.

J. CREW Cable Knit Sweater

The final pick is because I just can’t resist a great cable knit sweater. I’ve seen and owned them in cream and navy, but this is my first time seeing one in such a bright, almost over the top, shade of orange. Don’t let the color intimidate you though. Wear it with a pair of olive green shorts or chino pants and I promise it will seem less daunting.

Orange is a pretty common color to spot in Florida. Between beautiful historic buildings, one of a kind blossoms, and bright patterns, it’s okay to just embrace it. To see more of my favorite orange picks, be sure to take a look below. Which ones are your favorites?
