I am on a serious silver shoe kick. I have my silver oxfords which I’ve been rocking for a couple years and they only get more comfortable with each wear. For two summers I have been loving my silver Birkenstocks with most everything. There’s my silver pumps which seem to go with everything, and now…

It’s been a while since I’ve done a Friday Favorite but would like to start back up the series, at least once a month.
