Styling the Jill from ShoeMint

To be honest, it has not been easy trying to style the Jill shoes in coral. They're only 1.5 inch wedges and the straps go up to your ankles, so it's hard to give the "long legged" look. I've mostly worn them with maxi dresses do my legs are completely covered, but since the shoes are so comfortable, I tried to do something new.

Dress from American Eagle (Summer 2011), Gilly Hicks striped sweater (Winter 2010), brown leather belt (no brand) from Taiwan, LV Speedy 30 bag, Jill shoes from ShoeMint
Black jeggings from Q, coral top from Everly, Jill shoes from ShoeMint

Although these sandals are theoretically perfect for the warm weather, I'm having a hard time pairing them with shorts or skirts. The straps go up to your ankles, so your legs are definitely cut shorter when you wear these shoes. You can tell in the first picture my legs look a lot shorter, but it can also be because I layered my sweater over the dress, so my torso looks longer than average. Overall, I'm still playing around the styles with these shoes, but for now, these black jeggings seem to work.
