My good friend (who has not yet chosen her moniker, so we'll call her "Simply C" for now, but trust me, you are going to love her when she starts writing here soon) found these fabulous examples of the latest trends in practical footwear for today's fashion forward gal whose feet are -- ahem -- on the larger side. My own feet are not small - size 10. My daughter's are size 13 to 14 -- yes, really. So, shopping is extremely challenging. Read on for "Simply C's" findings!
I am on the search for mid heel height slingback pump. And this is the shoe that reminded me of all the lovely options out there in size 12 M. Simply perfect for those summer days on the yacht, don’t you agree? Ahoy!
And now, bring in the Mary Janes…
John Fluevog Women's Zaza Mary Jane Pump
Originally $238.95, but on sale for $171.95… and only one pair of size 12 M left in stock. If there was any way the Lakers could make the Championships this year, in this shoe, wouldn’t I be just *the* fan? I believe the word is “zaza”.
Funtasma by Pleaser Maryjane Pump – 50G
Don’t let the 50G fool you. They’re only $32.95… and that’s full price! Finally, a sensible platform heel that you can comfortably wear and walk all over town. And then, when you’re ready to call it a day, you may be able to click your heels three times and “there’s no place like home” yourself back to the comforts of your own abode. If that is possible, I’d consider this shoe in every color. Right now, I’ll have to settle for sparkly cotton candy in 12. Actually, for the “Pleaser” brand, this is an awfully tame, mind you, still ugly, shoe.
I just have no words. And they’re $98.69 on Amazon.com. If that’s not torture, it must be “Black Swan” on training wheels.
Simply C, you are just too funny! Now, which ones for work today??? Decisions, decisions... ;-)
