lace & metallics might not be the first combo that comes to mind, but i’m loving how they came together in this western/cottagecore aesthetic inspired outfit 🤍 i paired a lace maxi with a structured denim top to create contrast with texture, then elevated the look with my new @clarabarcello boots handcrafted in argentina with a brushed metallic finish that catches the light just right. these boots are bold in the loveliest most wearable way. clara barcelo is a brand rooted in quality, character & craftsmanship. their designs feel just a little unexpected but still timeless (just like me) exactly the kind of piece you reach for when you want something different but still versatile. if you’ve been eyeing metallic shoes but aren’t sure how to wear them day-to-day, or keep the look classy, here’s what i’ve learned: stick to a muted shine, pair with natural fabrics like lace or cotton, and keep the silhouette balanced. this look mixes softness with edge, & the boots add that statement that makes the outfit feel finished. styling tip: metallics don’t have to be loud. think of them as a texture rather than a trend. they can elevate your neutrals & bring a little dimension to your everyday looks. do you have a standout piece in your closet that you’re not sure how to style? let’s chat in the comments. i’d love to help you make it feel more wearable 🤍
