I could only find them in the black/pewter mix at DSW and even then, they were $80. Not going to work for me. So I waited all summer for them to finally get clearanced, but it was only a 30% markdown. When a $10 reward came my way, I was ready to make a purchase, only I couldn't find them.
DSW's website claimed they were in the store, so I searched every single clearance rack until I finally found them in a box labeled with the incorrect size, and took them home for just under $49.
The thought of tagging this post with #BloggerProblems crossed my mind, but somehow I feel like #LydiaProblems would be more appropriate.

I admire your tenacity with the shoes! Most people would have given up, but I'm glad you didn't so we could all admire them - they are so pretty and I can see why you worked so hard to find them!
ReplyDeleteI love how dedicated you were in your search for these shoes and I'm glad you found them in the end! Also, love your sweatshirt- so cute.
ReplyDeleteThat is some dedication to finding a good pair of shoes girl--but well worth it! They really make this whole look come together :)

You need to send over some heel love, because I dread wearing them like there is no tomorrow, and you look so awesome with a simple outfit and heels.
ReplyDeleteNatalia
You were meant to have those shoes.

Cute! I thought this was the Old Navy sweatshirt from last year. Glad to see it's still popular this season because I love graphic sweatshirts and t-shirts right now.
ReplyDeleteI feel you a pair of heels always makes me look put together that and a blazer! Love the look.
ReplyDeleteI love this sweatshirt!

what a great casual look

DSW is the best. I just scooped up some Michael Kors tall cognac boots this past weekend for a steal on clearance. You did great on your find. And love them with the casual sweatshirt.
ReplyDeleteI love DSW! I got a pair of shoes for $.01 this weekend because of their sale and my coupon! Clearance finds there are the best! Your pair is adorable!
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way with a pair of silver oxfords. I have been wanting a pair and didn't want to pay the price they were being sold for. Now I can't find any.
ReplyDeleteHopefully we will both find our shoes.

I have that same grey top but mine is a tee! I love the sweater version as well that you have one. I can't believe you found that gorgeous Coach bag at a thrift shop! I must go thrifting again soon!

I definitely become obsessed with items and spend hours hunting them down...so maybe it is a #bloggerproblem haha...

I have to admit, this is not a problem I've ever had - I struggle more with tearing myself away from things that cost $490 dollars, that I know full well I can't afford. When it comes down to it, we all have our unique fashion problems worthy of a hashtag ;) These heels are perfect for dressing up a casual look, and so much the better that you wound up getting them at a bargain price!
ReplyDeletexox,
Cee
Totally in love with your fun sweatshirt!
ReplyDeleteLydia, you sound like my kind a girl. It's always much more fun to dress up casual. You look gorgeous. Heeled sandals always looks so sexy, I don't blame you for hunting them down and for such a great price.

This look is so casual but you accessorized so well (um, hello fantastic shoes and gold jewelry) that it is so classy, too!
ReplyDeleteYAY! LOVE the shoes -- way to hunt those babies down -- and thanks for the shout out! This is such a "me" outfit, too... casual yet cool (haha, at least that's how I like to think of myself!)! WIN. :)

Isn't it great when that happens ?
ReplyDeleteGreat find :)
I have a post sometime soon where I tried to shoot my pictures in a marina, like you sometimes do… and actually thought to myself, "if these could only look half as good as Lydias …."

It was destined to be! I just wish I had the patience to hold out for something I love as dearly! You look great in this casual-meets-sophisticated getup!
