I had a completely different outfit planned until I realized my blazer had a stain on the sleeves. I have no idea how it got there because I am really good about taking care of my clothes. I had to quickly hand wash it and of course, it didn’t dry it time so I had to settle for this back-up outfit.
I realized that all my Christian Louboutin’s are all sized differently. My very first pair (black simple 100’s) which are a size 5, run the smallest. My nude patent’s in 35 are huge and thankfully I found a 34.5 which fit much better. These rouge ones are a 34.5 and still have a tiny gap in the back but luckily don’t slip. I ran out of shoe pads but once I stick them in there, they will fit perfectly. It’s just so frustrating how inconsistent the sizing is. They usually say to size up because Loubie’s are known to run small. Definitely not the case for me.
Taking self-photos is not easy! Today was quite challenging for me. I tried three different locations and none of which worked out. Either the lighting was super poor or the wind kept blowing my hair in my face. It was just one of those days that wouldn’t let me have any good photos.

As I mentioned in the past, I just love having a complete matching set of pumps and purses. I am so glad I bought my red Chanel when I did. It was out of total luck that I scored it for the old pricing. I was unsure about the gunmetal hardware but have grown to love it. I scored these red Loubie’s (brand new) off of Ebay for well under retail.
What do you think about matching shoes and purses?
Nautical red white and blue is my favorite!!! I absolutely love this outfit! That rich red on those Loubie's is so classy. LOVE LOVE LOVE! 🙂
I love your matching shoe and purse sets, they are super high class. But I don't think it's necessary to match your purse and shoes, it's a nice, classic, safe look. But for a more casual or artistic scene, it's nice to have mismatched items, keeps things interesting. And don't worry, your pictures turned out gorgeous – as always!

It seems like you're really good at scoring good deals and finding sales! Could you give some advice? What's your process in looking for items you really want?
Isn't it nice to find shoes that fit when you are petite? Those pumps are beautiful.

I don't usually like to wear matching purse and shoes but if it's Chanel and Loubs – well, that's a different story, right? Love the color of those shoes!

Matching shoes and bags are so classic! Most magazines and stylists don't even suggest them anymore, citing that they're a little "old fashioned," but IMHO, it really depends on the shoe and bag.
love your matching shoe and purse sets!
I've noticed some other bloggers doing matching bags and shoes too! Personally I think it's very Jackie O, love it 😉
I adoreee that skirt on you. Love the Chanel!
You look so, so pretty! Lovely outfit!
Love the outfit. I love the skirt. I don't usually wear matching shoes and purse but I don't have anything against it. Hey if you have that many shoes and purses in your closet then why not.

Really [beautiful] petite yet again! You possess classic beauty and charm with this lovely outfit. The top offers some lovely nautical charm while the deep red pumps offer a sweet diversion from the white and blue colors. I absolutely LOVE this skirt! This is a fantastic look. Another home run of an outfit, Annie! 🙂

I am completely jealous of your ability to match not one, not two, but /three/ pairs of Louboutin's to three different Chanel purses! Love it.
