So about this clothing hiatus that is saving me C.A.S.H...
I want out! I don’t know what it is (Spring shoe fever? Single Ma blames the weather) but all of a sudden I’ve been bitten by the I-want-new-shoes bug.
Here are the shoes I’d like if the Shoe Fairy suddenly showed up with her magic wand (made of $$$).
J.Crew Blythe Peep-toe Heels in Dark Poppy, $168.00
Banana Republic ‘Perla’ Sutton chain-link open toe pump in Espresso, $138.00
J.Crew Twyla Midheels in Platinum Gold, $175.00
The brown pump would be most work-appropriate and the gold sandals would be wonderful for spring or summer, but I have to admit that the red peep-toes are my favorite.
Which of the three pairs would you choose?

Ooooohh! I love J.Crew peep-toe shoes!! Out of the three, my pick would definitely be the red pair – they’d add a nice dash of color to the usual monochrome work wardrobe. The gold sandals would be a good investment too, you could dress them up (like to a wedding or something) or wear them out with jeans!
Btw, thanks for adding me to your blogroll
Ahaaa, and here is where our taste diverges. Because uuuuaarrgh! I can’t stand any of those, lol. They’d look awesome on someone that suited them though. I think if i had to choose one i hated the least (lol, sorry!) then i’d choose the red. I like red, it’s bold and daring (my dress sense has been described as daring, but i suspect that’s just because i wear clashing colours by accident)
But be strong! Last through your CASH! And just think, you can probably buy the same shoes but at a discount if you wait.
I actually got a little excited myself when I saw the Banana Republic shoes. I can’t wear heels but if I could, Espresso yummy! Love the shape and love the toes! And I could make it work with everything – I bet you could too.
Being a sneaker girl saves me money at least. The few shoes I have (6 not including winter boots, which are not pretty at all, but does include sandals) have to go with almost everything I wear. I have sneakers and a variety of black flats. Then, with my jeans, I have the sneakers I practically live in (that’s okay, I live in jeans too!).
Do you get a kick out of combining things in new ways? Discovering new uses? Try, it may be fun!
Oooooh shoes… I really love those gold ones – but I think the red ones are the best choice. You can wear them spring through fall, and they’re a great pop of color! However, I find that if I just stay strong for a week after being hit with the shopping bug, I’ll perservere and keep my wallet shut. Try and hold on for a week…then see if you still want the shoes!
Keep strong! (and happy last-day-of-March!)
The red ones for sure. Only because the other are such classy neutrals and I HAVE classy neutrals
HOT!
Love the red ones
You can wear red shoes to work. Its hawt!
Brown pumps. Classy. And unlike FB, I do not already have classy neautrals. I love them.
Quit tempting your readers!
Go with the red!!
SO CUTE! I think I would get the Perla BR shoes because they’re the most practical, and brown could be worn to work. Also, I don’t have a brown shoes….anyway, I LOVE them all!
Go with the sling backs, you’ll get plenty of wear out of them. Although from a savings point of view the Banana Republic pair are the best!
I’m loving the Perla pair …. and I’m going away now lest I become too interested in them!
I think every woman should have a (tasteful) pair of red – or pink – shoes. And those are perfect! Just flirty enough and not the least bit trashy – even classy enough to wear at work (with like a navy pinstripe pantsuit, perhaps…). My second choice is the gold. Great for any occassion – except work of course.
If you don’t actually NEED a pair of shoes but you are splurging anyway, you should get the pair you’re most emotionally attached to (assuming prices are the same). You won’t cure your shoe craving by talking yourself into a pair that are “best for work” when you really just want a new totally-for-fun spring fling pair.
I think the red pair would be your best choice – you can wear it to work as well as on a night out or with skinny jeans! Perfect
red ones!!
In the catalog, those “Dark Poppy” shoes come off as bright, bright pink, FYI.
Red for sure – and you can certainly wear red shoes to work.. even at conservative places. Red is classic!
Just to ruin the mood….. you said those are HOW MUCH?!!!!
I don’t think I’ve ever spent 1/4 of that much on a single pair of shoes. That’s CRAZY. They aren’t that cute, considering they cost half a car payment or something.
The red ones are great. This makes me want to shop though.
