Shop Update–Shoes So Blue Edition

January 30, 2023 By Melissa Q. Leave a Comment

It’s my favorite day! Release day! New shoes are in the shop and they are oh-so-blue in the very best way, of course. It’s the shoes so blue espadrille kits release.  

Isn’t that what we all need to transport our minds to vacation and summer day? It is. It is what we need! So, go ahead and grab a Bramble Blue Kit here and the Classic Dusty Navy kit here!

The floral blue espadrilles are a Rifle Paper Company fabric with a lovely combo of blue and yellow and subtle hints of metallic.  This fabric, a part of their Daisy Fields collection, makes me think of summer walks when you chance upon a field of untamed flowers. These shoes make it possible to wear that feeling!

They are both attention-getting but also super wearable. Frankly, and I don’t use this word often, they are just super CUTE! Every time I have worn mine, they make me smile. 

You already know I’m a huge fan of Rifle Paper Co for the espadrilles kits. I’ve been pairing their fabrics with the kits for years. It’s easy to see why!

I’ve also (finally) added a classic navy espadrille shoes. So many of you were reaching out and asking about a navy espadrille and I finally found organic cotton canvas that I like from Cloud 9 Fabrics.

I call it the Dusty Navy espadrille because it’s such a lovely muted navy color..a step above a regular navy color, if you ask me.

As always, I pack these kits with so much care and attention. There is nothing quite like packaging these up and knowing they are shipping off as a delightful project-to-be. Treat yourself to this winter project so you are ready when the weather warms up! Blue Espadrille Kits make a fabulous Valentine’s Day gift, too. Be sure to drop those hints! 🙂
