CLUTCHING OUR PEARLS (WORST FASHION or HIGH FASHION): Giuseppe Zanotti 30mm Fringed Leather High Top Sneakers

“Clutching Our Pearls” is all about horrendous and outright ridiculous fashion and accessories! But sometimes it features fashion that is so amazing that we can only clutch our pearls in amazement. We are really shocked with today’s find and we look forward to hearing what you think.

Today’s feature that has us clutching our pearls is the Giuseppe Zanotti  30mm Fringed Leather High Top Sneakers.

These sneakers can be yours for $1,050.00 on luisaviaroma.com.

We think that the sneaker is actually pretty cool. We love the fringes and the red color is a great way to add color to your style. The many buckles are also an attention grabber and make us think rocker chic. read more
