From: Talbots (outlet)
Purchased: March 19, 2011
Cost: $21.25
OK, yes, I bought three pairs of shoes over the weekend. There is no justification. But you know what? If I wasn't doing this shoe blog, I would have bought another pair - a very cool - and comfortable - pair of low heel peeptoes covered in gold sequins and glitter for $25. Now, those were completely unjustifiable, and I knew it. I liked them because they had a lower heel and were comfortable, and that's hard to find in a dress shoe. But some on, where in the world would I wear them? (dammit, I still want them, though - if they make it to the 80% off clearance you know they're mine!)
But these! I saw a bunch of mocs, ballet flats, and loafers on the clearance racks and then I noticed the tag on these were 8W = SCORE. Wides are hard to find at the clearance center, so I grabbed them first thing and tried them - totally, perfectly comfortable. Let's see, very comfy wide shoes (typically hard to find), metallic (my love of metallic is well documented), and silver/pewter/grey (my current favorite) for just over $20? Um, yeah.
Ok, well, yes, technically I have these, which are functionally quite similar. But! Silver/pewter ballet flats are great without socks, but you look like a dork wearing socks. Silver/pewter loafers? Socks, baby, plus a sturdier structure and heel put them in an ever-so-slightly different niche.
Bottom line: keeper!
