Christian Louboutin – Kate Patent shoes
There is a reason why classic models like pumps never die: they are irreplaceable.

This way, you can go for a western interpretation look with a vest and a white shirt, or if you want something more bohemian, just combine both elements and a blouse with bangs. As for accessories, we recommend the use of a belt with a large oval buckle, or be a little more creative and use a long scarf.
Bootcut jeans with espadrilles
With each passing week, the countdown to the change of season is stronger, August being the final stretch, and as such, represents one of the last opportunities to wear espadrilles. Seen as a synonym of sun and beach, they have made their way to urban outfits, with the help of not so severely flared jeans, white cropped blouses and short brown blazers.
Boot cut jeans with ballerinas

Undoubtedly, they are ideal to wear to the office with midi dresses and even bootcut jeans. But if you do not want to choose, you can always wear this duo together, and thus give a retro-inspired image, very 2000s.
