Cute Vintage-y Shoes

[December]

I have about 25 pairs and I don't consider that to be a lot.

I'll count them tomorrow.

I keep the shoes i don't normally wear in the two bottom drawers of my dresser. Some would think it logical to just throw them away, i can't. I have about 30 pairs of shoes and i still need more for other outfits. Shoes make me so sad :/

Four inches.

yep. just as I thought. not gonna happen

I wish I had 20 pairs... I'm at 12 myself. But with this tax-free weekend, I think I'll look around and see what I can find.

Tax free weekend?

My local Target has these on Clearance for $8 and change. They had tons, so I am waiting for the next mark down!

I went to take a look at those shoes. They were comfy......except for the darn tongues. I am so tired of my feet these days. They hate ALLLL shoes, have been wearing ugly earth shoe sandles and other ergonomical types or flip flops, when not working.

Tax free weekend?

Many states do a tax free weekend for Back to School.

11th Annual Texas Tax-Free Weekend August 21-23, 2009

Texas' annual tax-free weekend is scheduled for August 21-23, 2009. Created to help Texas families with back-to-school shopping, the annual event has become an anticipated tradition for many out-of-state visitors.

The savings begin at 12:01 a.m. on Friday, August 21 and end at midnight on Sunday, August 23. Savings apply to select clothing items and school supplies less than $100. Shoppers can save approximately $8 for every $100 spent.

Actually there are quite a lot of stores that do it here...or at least have in previous years...

Trust me...how -we- pay no tax..is that the -store- pays the state the taxes due...its just another way of putting something on sale....but saying 'this is only 9 % off' sounds so much less appealing then 'you don't pay sales tax'

true that, but i haven't seen it up where we live. then again, not much shopping here but some cool Mom and Pop shops.

Ha Ha! Yep that's basically it!

Are these not just beautiful! Now if they would only change that heel to a cuban.

I've just posted the link with my shoes to a friend and she says I'm crazy to have that many, around 20 pairs. Is it...really!? I felt really bad about myself and rushed to explain I bought them with discount while working on retail or in the sales. I sort of felt the need to justify myself as if it were something not quite right about owning 20 pairs of shoes. Maybe now I should go about selling them since I am going through a nasty period financially. I might do it as a last resort. But leaving that aside, it is really crazy to own 20 pairs? I would have thought it was rather average. Not a secret that I should keep in my closet. I'm starting to feel a bit angry about it now.

I probably have around 20 pairs, though most of them weren't really expensive. (For some people, anyway - I have expensive shoe tastes on a Payless budget!) I only *use* about 5 regularly; the others are either special occasion shoes, or ones that didn't work out but are in too good a condition to toss.

It sounds like a lot when you count 'em, I know. But the awful thing is - I don't feel I have enough! lol :eusa_doh:

 

[kittypackard]

Ha Ha! Yep that's basically it!

simply ADORE the cut of that shoe! As I'm rather ... oh .... a tallish kind of gal, I love and defintitely appreciate the virtues of a heel like that!

Very 18th century cute

If only the heel was a Louis, and if only they came in silver, gold and pastels...

Naturalizer is having a huge sale and also had my size, so...the "Daybreak" shoe in Portrait Leather is now mine. *gleeful*

I have a pair in black, and love them! They're quite a steal at $23.70 (originally $79). If the brown suede version ever goes on sale, guess what I'm buying.

I'm not sure what to wear with them, though. They're a color somewhere between cream and tan - they practically match my legs, and I'm not sure if that's a good look. I'm making pink '30s skirt that will probably fit the bill, but do you ladies have any other suggestions?

 

[Elaina]

I have about 15 pairs, and I need to get rid of the ones that are too beat up to wear anywhere but the house, which will leave me with about 7.

I just don't throw them away. I have a pair of heels I take dance classes in, and if they get ruined, I'm not upset. I usually buy a pair a month or so, but I don't pay attention to the vintage or not. I like trashy heels.

Another pair of Sailor Shoes

I saw these beauties and thought they would be perfect with my sailor inspired dress.

Has anyone bought any Crown Vintage shoes? I bought some on clearance at DSW and I was looking online for a photo to show them off. Anyway, no website, no other mentions on other shoe sites. Kinda weird. Then I found a blog someone said they are made by Jeffery Campbell? Anyway, just wondered. They seem super comfortable, a bit edgier than I normally wear, but I'll try to take a picture.

I found these shoes in Modcloth"s pop up ad online somewhere and I looked on there website but I cannot find them!!!!!

Do any of you ladies know where I can get pair like this? Or even the same brand? Its been awhile since I have gotten shoe lust such as this! Help me out!
