Beautiful almond toe and hint of toe cleavage make it a yes for me. Platform heel is about 4". This Expression brand came in two versions: Carina is the wedge and Christina in non-wedge. The animal print only came in the wedge. Other shades were brown croc, nude, black, black patent and red. Some shades are fast becoming "extinct" online.
I had to try it on. I was secretly praying it was not comfortable. Nope. It felt and looked good. Several customers commented on how good it looked then proceeded to ask the sales clerk for their size too.
If you read my nude shoe post, you know that most of my shoes are from sample shoe sales. So at full price of $79.99, I was going to take my chances at finding my size in the nude and animal print when they are on sale. The sales clerk kindly advised me that the 2-for-$99.99 event just finished a week ago so it likely will not be on sale again. I walked away empty-handed. That was a Wednesday. By Friday night, I resolved to buy the nude at full price. On Saturday, the same sales clerk was there and was about to leave (end of shift) but not before she told the cashier that the 2-for sale price is still valid. When she looked my way, I mouthed my heartfelt "thank you" for helping me save. You see, the nude was definitely coming home with me - sale or no sale - but I could not leave the animal print at the store.
Looking back, I do not know what I would have done if it also came in flats…hmmm.
ooohhh they look fab with the skinny jeans! and that's so nice the sales lady hooked you up! :)
ReplyDeleteOk I'm not a fan of animal print either but I totally would have stopped to try these on too! They look incredible on you!
ReplyDeleteExpression (brand by The Bay) makes such beautiful shoes! I love my pair of nude heels by them.
ReplyDeleteooo very nice! I just bought a pair of leopard print flats from Old Navy. They're really comfy but I haven't had the chance to wear them out yet because of the snow and the rain! Ugh, I hope it goes away soon so we can both debut new shows haha
ReplyDelete@gilly: Thank you. Was trying to hurry for the lighting so wouldn't normally wear these with skinnies, maybe bootleg? Now that you think they're ok, I might try it with skinnies.
ReplyDelete@Elaine: Me too. I normally venture as far as scarves.
@LDP: Thank Jessy for dropping by. I agree, I find myself checking out their brand.
@1to24: I missed those print shoes (darn). Yes, I wish the rain would ease off -- I almost ruined a good pair of shoes to puddles.
I am jealous yet again! Definitely a feminine feline item that suits your petite and feminine look to a T. Wow!
