Accessory Steal of the Week: Blue Suede Shoes


Old Navy's cobalt blue suede pumps are gorgeous (and a steal!)

In this weekly column, I’m bringing you my favorite budget-friendly accessory that’s available online or in-stores. This week, we’re talking shoes. Make sure to check out my blog SydneStyle.com for more affordable fashion inspiration!

One of my favorite style shoes is a pointy pump. They’re classic, work season to season and lengthen the leg. While I love a good nude, a bold color can really make your wardrobe pop. Normally, I’ll invest a little extra money into my classics. But it’s always a good thing when you can find something on a bargain. Enter Old Navy’s new pumps.

Late summer is always a transitional time in fashion. When you’re shopping, unless something is on major sale, you want to start thinking about pieces that can carry you into fall. That’s where a leopard bag comes in. An animal print works year-round. And the cross-body style is still going strong!

A crystal collar necklace is a great statement piece to have in your wardrobe because a) it never goes out of style and b) you can use it to create endless looks. I’m loving Charming Charlie’s Close Call Collar necklace ($25). The burnished chain gives it a vintage feel that makes it seem much more expensive.

Whether you’re hitting the beach or the pool, a hat is a summer must-have. Not only does it protect your face from sun (goodbye wrinkles!) but it also makes a major fashion statement. For a boho vibe, I’m a huge fan of the floppy hat.

With wedding season in full swing, it’s smart to have an accessory that will go with almost every dress. That’s where a metallic clutch comes in. A box clutch—which is a hard box-shaped bag—doubles as jewelry!

While I was prepping for a TV segment at Nordstrom, this Tasha clutch ($98) instantly caught my eye. All my looks had to feature pieces under $100 so I was hesitant to grab it. But it was right on point!
