Casual Saturday - shoe shot + wrist shot. I’ve worn these Scotch Grain @allenedmonds Margates three times tromping around #DowntownBend since I gave them a mirror shine with our new High Shine Paste. They are still glassy and have held up impeccably. Also pictured is my new fun find: @zodiacwatches “Shelby” Sea Dragon #ShineLife #SmellTheOrange #PurePolish (at Bend, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx5bXmVJ0Yg/?igshid=1eybwuizdrf50
