Ashley Olsen: Oversized Sweater and Balenciaga Platform Sandals

Ashley Olsen was recently spotted looking all casual and a tad messy in an oversized sweater, shorts, and wooden platform sandals while enjoying a lazy day in New York.

I don’t like the look honestly, a little too unkempt for my taste. And that sweater is definitely too big. But then again, this girl always likes to wear oversized clothes.

I do like the shoes on her feet, though. Love the two tone color, the wooden heels, the wooden platforms, and basically everything about it.

From afar, the straps look like elastic bands, but if you look closer, it’s actually made of canvas trimmed with ostrich skin. The ankle straps are in leather.

The pair is from Balenciaga’s 2010 Spring Collection. It also comes in yellow and white as seen below:

If you want it, you’ll have to go to the Balenciaga store because it is currently not being offered online.
