As much as I love the bright yellow Tory Burch dress Hilary Swank is wearing in this photo, I have to admit that my eyes went right to her shoes:

These shoes are also by Tory Burch, and are the ‘Tarlen’ rope wedges. I’m not quite sure what to make of them, to be honest. I always appreciate a shoe that’s a little different from all the rest, and these definitely fall into that category: the rope also gives them a vaguely nautical feel, which is almost always guaranteed to win my affection. But, I don’t know, there’s something standing in the way of my unreserved love for them, and no, it’s not the $295 price tag. (Although that too, obviously.)
