Pyramid Stud Sandals & Boat Cruises

06/21/13 | Forever 21, New York City, shoes

Last night I went on an absolutely terrific boat cruise around Manhattan. Maybe it is because I was one of the only girls not wearing heels and thus not tripping over my own two feet on the wavy seas and the three hours worth of open bar, but by golly my Entrance Making Pyramid Stud Sandals were PERFECT.  Even for a girl who likes heels as much as I do, I must be cognizant that some situations scream for other shoes and these affordable and “I would not be too sad if they got completley ruined” sandals were just the ticket:

At Forever 21 pricing I was not going to be extremely upset if they did not weather the trip but I am proud to say that these photos were taken after the cruise and I think they made it through very well.  While some girls dressed to the nine for this occasion I think my high/low dress, gold jewelry, and sandals were smack in the middle on the scale of dressy-ness and that works perfectly me for me. My biggest compliment last night? “Um, Kelly, you look REALLY good….very put together and hip”.  You know what? I will take it! Thank you! Here a few photos I shared via Instagram:

And for all of you SUPER nosey people, no, neither  gentleman is my love interest – the first is the fabulous Brian, a top Tarte makeup artist, and the second is Nico, a collegiate classmate. I had an absolutely terrific time on the boat. This is awful of me to say and typing this now, I regret it, but I was much too busy chatting with old school chums to take photos but this is what it looked like:

Have you ever been on an evening boat cruise?  Would you have worn heels?

    Sometimes flats are much rocking than heels.
