FIORENTINI + BAKER : eli

i just scored these from barneys !
. . .after stalking the website for the last week hoping my size would magically appear.
this will be my 2nd pair from fiorentini + baker.
(my 1st pair, after lusting for it for more than 2 years & trying to justify spending that much on 1 pair of shoes, was the eternity boot. SO worth it, by the way ! )
these boots are so well made & actually fit my narrow foot quite well. . .

1st outfit post !

i wore this to a friend's wedding this weekend :
top, giorgio armani (i used to work there & got highly discounted merch. to wear as my 'uniform', i have 6 seasons of amazing suiting & tops)
skirt, han feng (i think--it's about 12 years old & i cut the label out)
shoes, dolce vita (with the most comfortable wedge heel ever. . . i don't do heels ! )

i love how draping of the top & skirt flow together--both pieces are in silk & totally looked like a dress
