They were instantaneously appealing in their kitteny / cutout goodness. So I emailed to learn about their size - imagining they'd be too small. Um, hello, they were an 8.5 (just right on paper!) and they were $20.00. So I called them, bought them over the phone and I'll pick them up in July when I visit Mtl!
Kind of crazy I realize. Like I need another pair of shoes. Like I, a person who's only ever bought bags online (for others, I might add), should buy something as finicky as shoes, all but sight unseen.
Call it research. Having read Susie's post about the fantasticness of Angie's handmade dress (she's co-owner of this Mtl. boutique), I was all the more motivated to give this grand experiment a go. Can't wait to show you what they look like on my feet...

ReplyDeletechic :)
The shoes are really chic! A nice pair of cutouts are hard to find these days! These pair look super classy! A great choice!
ReplyDeletelayered tights with colour (expect it's now your SUMMER) and I skipped the last post because SATC isn't screened in OZ until Thursday :(
ReplyDeleteThanks Mr. Style - I love Dior! Love your pic...
ReplyDeleteTimes of Glory: Haven't seen your blog before but I'm definitely going to check it out (along with Mr. Style's!) Thanks for your comment.
IM - You are so right about wearing those with layered tights (maroon comes to mind). And, it seems summer may never actually arrive - so you could see them with those over-the-knee things sooner rather than later. Go see SATC. You will love the shoes!
Oh I've heard of that boutique, yes they have very nice items. I really like the cut outs!
ReplyDeleteJuly?! But that's at least 30 days away! Perhaps absence will make the heart grow fonder? . . . ;)
ReplyDeleteThey look great! but I can't assume vintage shoes yet, I have always been told is not good for your feet health. Ok, 10-cm-heels are not good either!
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot for the advice on my graduation dress, at the end I had to pick the first one because the thin belt couldn't hold up the scarf as a belt. Anyway, I just want to say that I appreciated a lot your advice, thanks;)!
I love the color a lot! Those are lovely, practically a classic! Completely wearable.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for your comment. I agree completely. I did tell them, and it all worked out well. Such a load off my back!!! Thanks for the advice :)
I think they sounds great, and I can't wait to see how you wear them. Are you already cooking up ideas?
ReplyDeletethose shoes will look so great with non-footless tights for that lil peek of colour!! :-) Lucky u!
ReplyDeleteJill: I can't wait to see them in real life.
ReplyDeleteMiss C: It's more like 45. And I am SO instant gratification. This whole situation is going to be a challenge, I imagine.
Atelier: I hear you about how it's not "orthotically correct" to wear other people's shoes. But I tend to think it depends on how, exactly, those pre-worn shoes fit your foot. And, if the shoe's barely worn, well that's another thing to consider... I'm experiment a little and I'll let you know how it goes. Glad to hear your graduation went well. I'm sure you looked gorgeous!
Tavi: I'm so glad you talked to them. And I bet they loved what they saw. Good stuff.
Enc: How well you know me. Ideas are fooling around in my (somewhat overworked) brain.
Curella: I see them with all kinds of fun socks and stockings. Here's (really) hoping they fit!
