Eco Fashion Friday: Naya Trite Oxfords
Naya’s Trite Oxfords have me talking this Eco Fashion Friday with their leather and fabric upper and feminine ribbon laces for spring/summer. I’m a huge fan of Naya’s oxfords (and most of their shoes in general) because of their style, comfort and versatility. I wear them with jeans, skirts, dresses, shorts…just about everything. Naya, a division of Naturalizer, selects environmentally preferred materials, whenever possible, in designing every Naya shoe and uses eco-friendly packaging to leave a softer footprint on the Earth.

It’s simple enough for any woman to do, great for any age and extremely versatile on a number of different skin tones.
