Yay!! After wishing I had them during my entire trip in Paris, I bit the bullet and placed a pre-order as soon as I got back. Unfortunately, it took over a month before the order was fulfilled and I wasn't able to enjoy them in Cancun, but I am enjoying them now! I ordered .5 size up but I found that they run true to size, so the recommendation to order .5 to 1 size up was inapplicable to me. It fits very well without any chafing, rubbing, or discomfort but when I lift my feet, it feels a tad loose. The wide leather bands hold it in place and it's not so bothersome that it'd make me return and reorder. All in all, I am very pleased with these shoes. I've worn them with a fancy silk and sequined outfit to a wedding, casual cotton summer dress, and a jaunty nautical inspired shirt and shorts outfit. Yes for the perfect pair of wedges!
**End Update with a fist pump!**
Or so I wish. I wore out my last favorite pair of shoes--metallic slippers with just a 1.5 inch heel--perfect for wearing with anything from skinny jeans to dresses to shorts. In my quest to find a new replacement, I stumbled upon the cutest pair of shoes yesterday. They are way higher than my last pair of favorite utilitarian shoes but heel height has never intimidated me. Here are these beauties, in all it's glory:
Aren't they beautiful? Even though it has a 4 inch heel, it's on a stacked platform so it'll feel like more like a 3 inch heel. I like them enough to pay full price for them ($110) and there are actually quite a few amazon promotions right now which would bring the price down to around $60. Yet the gods defy me! There are no more taupe colors left in my size :( While I can still order it and wait for the next shipment, the next shipment won't arrive for several weeks so it won't arrive in time for my impending vacation. I guess its probably better not to teeter around in wedge heels on cobblestone streets but still--I feel a pang of sadness. Add in a double pang because the Amazon sale won't apply on the impending shipment so it'll be full price. While I said I'd have been willing to pay full price for it, knowing that I can get it at around $60 makes me unwilling to pull the trigger. Boo! Boo hiss snarl!
And the shoe search saga continues...
