To red shoe or not to red shoe?

I love the casual comfort of this outfit. These are all pieces I've had for a long while that I've never worn together. The exposed back top opens in just the right areas to allow the minimal breeze of these hot summer days to circulate through my outfit. The shorts never disappoints when delivering comfort. The red shoes on the other hand, I have a love/hate relationship with. I'm not a big fan of red shoes, I guess because I haven't found the right pair yet. I got these a few years ago and at the time loved the gum soles. Now I think it's just weird. It's funny how quick ones sense of style evolves over time. This is why I've decided all future splurges will be for items that are timeless and of good quality. I'm a true believer that quality will beat quantity every time. Theirs nothing more annoying than going into a store and buying a piece that you instantly fall in lust with and end up only being able to wear it once or twice due to poor quality. I do find that the lower end european stores do a great job of designing lower priced good quality items that doesn't shred, shrivel, fade or tear after the first wear.

What about you? Do you go for quality, quantity or both?
