leopards and pythons.

the long anticipated arrival of my leopard shoes was bittersweet.
they met, if not exceeded, my expectations...the platform, the rich color, the chunkier, round heel.
but...
these bad boys are mega high.
feel-it-in-your-knees kind of high.
not enough platform for the heel height.
i walked outside with them to snap these photos before realizing just how high they were, and now i can't return them.
if some gel inserts don't help, sadly these will have to go straight to the marketplace.

(shoes, victoria's secret; top, f21; skirt, bcbg; python belt, coach)

It would be weird if a pair of shoes made your mouth water, right? I mean that's not normal... HA! But really... these made me smile :)

I'm jealous. BUT it really does suck with the platform/heel combo doesn't work out. hope the inserts work!

matters of merrymaking

Wow they are high.. but super gorgeous!! x

Cel said...

Oh no! Those are fantastic shoes, hopefully you figure something out so you can keep them and rock them out properly. I personally have no idea how you manage to wear heels all the time without turning your feet into bloody stumps... goodness knows that's how it feels for me :C

Ashley Rae said...

Don't hurt yourself with those shoes! But they do look sooo fab on you.
Yes, that flea market is really fun and I did meet up with another blogger there (Crystal from Cryskay.com). We had a fun time finding all these great things. :)

Yellow and Black!! Beautiful Love It

Bonnie said...

5-inch heels?
LOVE THEM.
These are basically the entire definition (and bane) of my existence.
It's a love/hate relationship, but they look fierce.
That makes it worth the pain.

They look smashing easpecialy with the yellow skirt combo. What was the measurements? Looks like a 5 inch heel with a 1 inch platform no?
I try to max at 4 inch heel with 1 inch platform the most. How scuffed are the bottoms? If you just walked outside for photos only may be you can clean them up for returns. Call Victoria's secret customer service may be they can assist. They are pretty though.

Liliana Ferreira said...

I loved your double ring too ;)

Bummer on the shoes--they are so cool otherwise! but comfort is key. If you can't wear them what good are they?

On another note, I LOVE that blouse. Where did you find it? I've been looking for some blousy cap-sleeve tops just like yours. They'd be perfect for summer.

Live said...

So freakin sexy, and that matte lip? Awesome.

SpryOnTheWall said...

Oh man, that stinks because they look amazing on you. I hope you can work something out with the inserts. Such a gorgeous leopard print!

CoutureJunkie said...

The shoes are amaze but you can get the Dr. Scholl's gel inserts with the cushion for your arch b/c those shoes look like they need tons of arch supports.
