Greymer Spring/Summer 2014 sandals – no longer available

If you have ever thought: Surely Taylor doesn’t always consider what she wears and the messaging behind it. This post is for you.

Now defunct, Greymer is an Italian brand established in 1980. More importantly, the shoes Taylor is wearing here are from their Spring/Summer 2014 collection. When the entirety of the fashion world is at your disposal, why wear a pair of shoes from nearly a decade ago that so happens to nod to the year your upcoming re-record was originally released in?

Fashion history aside, I loved how the metallic heel of these sandals continued the gold hardware present through the rest of the outfit (necklace, corset straps, bag).

Worn with: Maria Tash earrings, Gant coat, Mazin Jewels necklace, Versace corset, and Aupen bag

Get the look: Michael Kors, $155.00

Khaite ‘Keene Leather Mini Skirt’ – $2,100.00

It isn’t often that a leather skirt makes one giggle, but this one did because Taylor exhibited an age old habit of wearing things backwards. Here, she chose to wear the exposed zipper of the skirt to the back, to emphasize the unique side seaming detail at the front.

The joy of adding yet another item to the TSS Backwards tag.

Worn with: Maria Tash earrings, Alessandra Camilla Milano earrings, Jean Paul Gaultier top, Balenciaga corset, Roger Vivier bag, and Louis Vuitton boots

Maria Tash ‘Diamond Pear Stud Earring’ – $4,750.00
Maria Tash ‘Invisible Set Diamond Eternity Hoop Earring’ – $1,050.00
Maria Tash ‘Triple Teardrop Marquise Diamond Threaded Stud Earring- $9,800.00

Sometime between Taylor’s final U.S. 2023 dates of the Eras Tour in Los Angeles and her Mexico City dates (specifically the week between August 10 and 17), Taylor added three new lobe piercings to her ears. Two in the right (the pear stud + hoop earring), one in the left (marquise teardrop stud).

I can now happily confirm thanks to the brand that her fresh stack is courtesy of Maria Tash in their yellow gold. The brand does happen to have a piercing studio in NYC and a part of me wonders if she popped in there for some impetuous and fun body mods.

In addition to these additions to her stack, she’s also been playing around recently with temporary ear jewelry – namely a helix cuff that she’s worn in both her left and right ears.

Alessandra Camilla Milano ‘Blue Rain Diamond Cuffs Drop’ – $2,490.00

Ever the type to mix metals, Taylor wears the yellow gold version of this earring after wearing it in white gold last month at the MTV VMA after party.

Roger Vivier ‘Viv’ Choc Bag in Leather’ – $3,995.00

In terms of bag style, Taylor will typically opt for a cross-body worn on her right shoulder or a shoulder bag propped on the top of her forearm. So in an instance like this, it’s fun and notable to see her actually tote a shoulder bag where its name implies.

I do love the rich tones of this bag (the red speaks to me personally) but I wouldn’t have minded it in the black shade that it comes in.

Louis Vuitton ‘Star Trail Boots’ – $1,760.00 (similar)

One thing about Taylor is that she loves a chunky boot and has for years. She’s worn many iterations of an edgy black lace up combat-style boot.

This particular pair has a long history in Taylor’s closet, hailing from the brand’s Fall 2016 collection which Taylor happened to wear the night before the Met Gala 2016 when she was co-chair of the event as a guest of LV.

Jean Paul Gaultier ‘Fleurs Petit Grand Print Mesh Top’ – $320.00

JPG is well known for their figure forming mesh pieces. I am well known for my love of Taylor wearing green. In this particular instance, I think we all could have done a bit better.

One of their most memorable being their horizontal stripe illusion motif that recurs as a mainstay in their designs spanning decades. This particular top is from the French brand’s Summer 2023 collection titled ‘Flowers’ – drawing inspiration from its 2000s archives.

In theory, the decision to style simply here with a black skirt and boots was the right call but I think a full tuck of the shirt and a more streamlined, taller pair of boots would have made a huge difference.
