Here’s the problem: I already have a lot of brown loafers on my imaginary fall floor. 😂
If I hadn’t already filled that spot with three others, the SOREL Revel Ave Loafer would have been an easy yes. I love the rich brown, the substantial sole + the slightly rugged SOREL take on a classic loafer.
Sometimes buying isn't about whether you love the shoe. It’s about whether you already bought its spot.
WHY I LOVE IT
Rich brown feels exactly right for fall
Classic loafer with a more substantial sole
A little rugged without feeling outdoorsy
Easy with denim, cords + trousers
Gives a traditional loafer more personality
Extremely wearable
DEAR LUCY EDIT
YOU CAN’T BUY EVERYTHING YOU LIKE. 🤎
This is one of the biggest lessons from years of buying shoes.
I'd wear this with grey denim + a cream sweater, relaxed blue jeans + a button-down, or cords once it gets cooler.
Would I buy it? Absolutely.
Would I buy it if I already had three other brown loafers on the floor?
Probably not.
And that's the difference between finding cute shoes and building a buy.
