LOTD: SHOEMINT'S JOLLY IS FIERCE

Out of sheer coincidence, we ended up wearing the same shoes today: ShoeMint's Jolly Pony Hair Wedge in Leopard. While Elsie wore her pair with a neutral color scheme for work, Jael went with a dark color palette for a day of running errands around the city.

Shoes: ShoeMint Jolly in Leopard (here)
Nails: Chanel Le Vernis Nail Color in Lotus Rouge (here)

Scarf: Primark UK (similar here on sale! & here)
Sweater: Forever 21 (old; similar here)
Top: Republic UK (similar here & here)
Jeggings: Hollister (here on sale!) These are a super warm alternative to leggings for Winter

Rings: H&M (old)
Bracelet: Jewelmint Polar Ends Bracelet (here)
Earrings: Jewelmint Rachel Earrings (here)

Top: (old; somewhat similar here)
Belt: H&M (old; find similar here)
Cardigan: Urban Outfitters (similar here)
Jeans: Forever 21 (similar here)

Bracelet: Jewelmint Bird Cage Bangle (here)
Lotion: Bath & Body Works True Blue Spa Super-Softening Hand Lotion (here on sale!)



Overall, the Jolly is pretty awesome. The shoes are comfortable and look super fierce. The wedge measures a little over 4 inches tall with approximately a 0.5 inch platform. The sole is non-slip, perfect for trekking around without having to worry about slippery sidewalks or uneven pavement. They retail for $79.98, but there's usually deals for new members. The website says that the sizing runs small and recommends ordering up 1 size, but luckily, we both ordered 1/2 a size up instead. 

That's all for now, hope this little review was helpful for those of you who may have been on the fence about the Jolly Wedge! 

Sending Love Across,
