FLAT SHOES THAT FEED MY SOLE

With Who What Wear

We routinely turn to Janet Gunn, the 58-year-old influencer behind The Grateful Gardenia, for sartorial guidance. And while age should have nothing to do with your style choices, we’re always interested in her fashion viewpoint specifically given her experience over the years building a well-rounded wardrobe. Today, we wanted to gain further insight into some of the go-to shoe silhouettes she swears by. And while she wears a variety, there’s one key style she wears on repeat and will never retire. Yes, flat shoes, given their comfortable and versatile nature.

Hanging out in my Mr. Doubt Brogue Oxfords from Angela Scott / I’m 5’4 and wearing flats with a little heel fits my fashion style best. I rarely wear heels, mostly when I go to events where I know I’ll be mingling with people who are usually taller than me. For OxfordsUse Code:JANETGUNNGRATEFULGARDENIA20

What I love about Angela Scott, her dedication to detail, and craftsmanship and her shoes are tailored for women. I’d say, just the right amount of an elegant tomboy. Thank you to Who What Wear for always being a go-to for upping the style game, no matter what age you are.

Thank you for reading, keep having fun with your fashion!

TAN + TONED WHEEL

Gone are the days of basking in the sun and not having a care in the world if you got a little burnt. Thanks to clean and healthy self-tanners we can literally look as if we spent a week in the south of France or Tahiti and even gives your legs an overall toned look but staying toned is always best accomplished with diet and regular exercise. Above are self-tanners that I have found to be active, and won’t leave your skin orange or with that unpleasant smell. Pictured above in Santorini Greece last summer and after three weeks of sun-kissed travel, I applied both the Coola Spray and the Best Bronzed Tanning Mousse. What I like about self-tanners- when you return from your dream vacation you can continue that golden glow that reminds you of your personal fun in the sun…and you saved your skin, especially if you love that sunshine as much as I do.

WHITEOUT WHEEL

“All Right All Right All Right said Mathew McConaughey “All White All White All White" said me…

Nothing says “here comes summer” like an all-white wardrobe. Crisp, clean, and clearly painting a picture of a vacation getaway somewhere in the world…or your own backyard. So, while you’re at home and wondering what pieces you’d like to turn to your uniform all-white, you may want to check out a few personal favorites of mine for keeping it all white And all right.

Franne Golde All-Season Crop - These pants fit and feel like a glove. My favorite pant for traveling, packs like a dream.

Ganni Shirt - Light-weight and simple elegance.

Elizabeth Reid Socks - So soft and edgy, thanks to the “studs”

Gu_De Handbag (One of my favorite designers from Korea)

White Fedora - This brand creates sophisticated pieces with a focus on timeless, minimal designs that are both unique and classic.

Birkenstocks - Love the support of a Birkenstock - Slip into the comfort of the iconic Arizona Big Buckle, you’re feet will thank you!

The clean - green way on how to remove the dirty.

Quick Wipes for Sneakers - We have these in the kitchen and I keep them in my car, they work great!
