When searching for an outfit, we usually shop “head-to-toe,” but for summer we have more of a “toes-to-sandal” philosophy. Until the autumn chill rolls in, give your feet the attention they deserve by matching the perfect colored pedicure with your summer sandals.
Opposites Attract
We always hear that opposites attract, but when it comes to polish and sandal pairings there is no denying it! Let your wardrobe feel full of life by experimenting with brighter hues and complementary colors.
