Q. I’ve been seeing a lot of thick, strappy sandals and gladiators in magazines lately. I’m not ready to join the gladiator trend just yet, so I was thrilled to find this alternative. I just purchased these t-strap platform pumps, but I haven’t got a clue what to wear them with! Do you have any suggestions?
A. These Lauren Ralph Lauren “Sheila” sandals were a very wise purchase. Not only can you wear them now, but you can wear them in the fall when the weather cools with a pair of tights. And they will be in style far longer than trendy gladiators.
What to wear them with? Everything! Dresses, jeans, pants, shorts, skirts - you name it. Your possibilities are endless, but here are a few ideas for inspiration:



A. Aqua and white are a gorgeous combination, however, if your shirt is showing through your pants, you should definitely go with a lighter color. Unlined white linen pants can be tricky, since many colors can show through. Also, be sure to wear nude colored underwear to avoid any show-through (white underwear is a big no-no!)
