How to Style Sock Booties (Sustainable brand Vivaia Shoes Review)

Vivaia is a brand that reached out to me about trying their sustainably made shoes. After researching them & finding out more about their company, I decided to give them a try! All views are my own and the shoes were gifted to me by Vivaia.

If you prefer video content, check out my fun reel HERE!

The number one great thing I was excited to learn about Vivaia is that their shoes are made with recycled plastic water bottles & ethically sourced wool (even the packaging that they send the shoes in is 100% recycled materials!). I was SO impressed with that fact, & even more so when I received the shoes & they were incredibly comfortable! A good portion of their shoes are even made to be machine washable which is also so convenient (unfortunately this pair is not because of the heel).

I chose the Zoe wool round-toe boots in my regular size (you just use their size chart to convert your US size to your EU size) and the color tan russet. It’s a beautiful brownish grey & it’s the perfect color that goes with just about anything (this pair is on sale right now for $83 and my code ma18 can get you an extra 18% off!).

Viviaia has a ton of shoe options on their site– boots, mules, loafers, flats, heels, sneakers, etc, and they also carry men’s shoes. Vivaia is considered a competitor of Rothys’ shoes, which I can’t speak to or review because I don’t own a pair, but they both are made for comfort & out of recycled materials. If you are interested in trying a pair of sustainably made shoes, Vivaia’s shoes start around $99, which is more affordable than Rothys are. They also seem to have more style options than Rothys.

All in all, I would definitely recommend Vivaia shoes to anyone looking for style, comfort, & sustainability. I’m looking forward to contining to wear and style my Zoe sock boots and to continue to support this brand!

I have styled these extremely versatile boots 3 different ways below. Most of my outfits are older pieces, but I will link similar options to what I’m wearing if you want to try to recreate look. I use affiliate links which means I earn a small commission if you purchase anything using my link, and it will be no additional cost to you. Thanks for your support! 🙂

Look number 1: A mockneck, cardigan & straight leg jeans.
This look is casual & comfy. I LOVE that these sock boots tuck perfectly into straight leg jeans. Makes them look so chic.

Look number 2: A mini boho dress.
The color of these boots pairs perfectly with black & I love that the taller shaft adds interest to an otherwise simple dress look.

Look number 3: A flowy top & skinny jeans.
The shaft of these boots is tight enough that they pair so well with skinny jeans too! Love that! Dress it up with a flowy blouse & you’ve got yourself a cute night out look.

3 Ways to Wear a Fuzzy Button Front Cardigan

I picked up this cardigan at Target & it is SO soft. It’s got this really cozy fabric that is MADE for cold weather.
It comes in two other colors, but this one is perfectly neutral & I love it. To be honest, I wasn’t really paying attention when I ordered it & didn’t realize the cardigan had a collar. It is really cute though & adds some interest to the sweater.

I styled it 3 ways, but it’s definitely a fun neutral that can be worn a bunch of ways for the fall/winter season.

As always, everything will be linked via Liketoknow.it at the bottom of the post. If you shop using these affiliate links I make a small commission that allows me to keep styling & doing what I enjoy. Thanks! 🙂

I paired the cardigan with my wide brim hat for all these outfits. In this outfit, I’m also wearing my new favorite pair of straight leg jeans from target (SO comfy, nice high waist, & stretchy–so not uncomfortable at all!) & my sock booties. My sock booties are old but I linked two similar pairs below. I really love sock booties because the tight ankle makes them super versatile & able to go with everything (straight legs, skirts, dresses, wide leg pants, skinnies)!

In this outfit, I’m wearing one of my favorite skirts that I like to pull out in the cooler months. It’s a silkier material so it works well for this season (It is also older, but there are a a couple very, very similar ones I linked below. There’s also A TON of color options). I love this look because it’s dressed up but still really comfortable.

I’m pretty sure every styling session this winter will feature my black skinny jeans. I’ve had these for 2 years now & I feel like I’m JUST realizing what a staple they are. They dress up a look so much more than blue jeans but are the same comfort level– win-win! Again, these ones are older but I linked some great options!

Which look is your favorite? Would you wear any of them? Let me know on instagram or in the comments below!

3 Ways to Wear One Shirt Jacket

Shirt jackets, or “shackets” as the kids are calling them these days are so trendy this year! It’s certainly a trend that will carry over from fall into winter & I’m here for it because it is casual, cute & comfy! I have picked up a few shirt jackets & wear them often, Usually as a second layer. This one has a perfect mix of whites, grays, & oranges. It fits with a lot in my wardrobe & is very versatile!
Here are three ways I’ve worn this one:

You can’t go wrong with an all black base & some interesting layers & shoes on top! I love to mix my browns & blacks.

This Amazon sweatshirt is quilted & great quality– I love it so much! It pairs perfectly with the oranges in the shirt jacket. Throw on some skinnes and some chelsea boots and perfect!

Either tied around the waist or worn casually the shirt jacket looks so cute as a layer with a brown sweater, straight leg jeans and sock booties!

Styling A Cozy Brown Cardigan for November

I recently received this brown cardigan from Pinkblush (gifted) & it is SO PERFECT for this time of year. As we head into cooler months I start reaching for warmer tones & of course, extra layers. This brown cardigan is a perfect neutral to throw over any outfit to keep just a bit warmer (it is a loose knit, so it’s got larger holes, FYI!). I decided to style it a few different ways for November.

Outfit details will be linked using LIKETOKNOW.it & I receive a small commission if you purchase using these links, at no additional cost to you. If what I’m wearing is older or sold out I’ve done my best to find options that look similar!
I really appreciate the support so I can continue to do what I love. Thank you! 🙂

This is my favorite look– super casual but all the warm tones bring it together. This tee is actually a top from a 2 piece lounge set I got from amazon. Win!

I love how the orange flowers in this dress are pulled out and more noticeable because of the deep brown color of the cardigan. It gives me all the fall vibes!

I love overalls and for some reason I just always want to pair stripes with them! The classic black & white striped shirt is balanced out by the warm brown cardigan & brown sock booties.

Who says you can’t be comfy and cute?! I love pairing joggers with a cardigan & the graphic tee makes it even more fun! Add some neutral sneakers and you’ve got an outfit that can be work out and about!

Of these four outfits which is your favorite?! Do you own a brown cardigan?
