Totally girly shoes!

Well, I did state in my blog blurb that I might even post about shoes from time to time...and this is that time.

I saw these on the eLuxury website and fell immediately in love. Unfortunately, I didn't save any of the pertinent information so I have no idea how much they went for, but I seem to remember a figure in the 300.00 range. They're not on the site anymore so some lucky and fashionable woman is tipping around somewhere in my shoes. Aren't they beautiful?

I'm a sucker for a shoe with an ornamented vamp - bows, buckles, kiltie ties, or in this case, flowers. The dusky blue complements the brown Dior logo fabric quite nicely, and the logo itself adds texture and interest but isn't distracting. I'm not usually one to fall for logo-fabric shoes; the flower reeled me in.

Despite the cost (300+!), I told myself that if I had to attend a wedding this summer, I would buy these shoes. I think I lied to myself but since the shoes are gone my statement will go untested.

For many years I bought special occasion outfits in shades of navy. I love navy, though it's not one of the colors that look spectacular on me (red, royal blue, purple). These shoes, then, would have given me the perfect excuse to break my "no more navy!" rule. I'm thinking though, that something in the Dior brown shades would be more sophisticated. I guess I'll never know. ::sigh::
