Dressing Young (Part 1)

<p>Thanks Alumother, I’ll try searching with that term.</p>

<p>Floral, kitten heeled, Manolo Blahnik…[Manolo</a> Blahnik - Floral Mid-Heel Halter - Neiman Marcus](<a href=“http://■■■■■■/kEW0XL]Manolo”>http://■■■■■■/kEW0XL)</p>

<p>Ahhh . . . here we go!</p>

<p>Okay, love all the Manolo Blahnik’s from Alumother. My vote goes to the Floral Mid-heel Halter but maybe it’s a little to frivolous for the occasion.</p>

<p>Here is a cheery shoe by Kate Spade:</p>

<p>And a floral d’orsay by Manolo:</p>

<p>Another blingy shoe:</p>

<p>Also comes in gold and multi-sparkle.</p>

<p>My cheapskate genes are showing. I cannot imagine spending that kind of money for a pair of shoes. :o</p>

<p>What luscious shoes, Bunsen. I have an overpowering urge to buy the Kate Spade multi-paper hearts just to keep them in a box and get them out and look at then sometimes!</p>

<p>What is it about glitter shoes? I secretly want to own them in every color. They just look so sparkly and festive, even though I would never have the nerve to wear a pair. These are the cr</p>

<p>OMG! $3000??? You ladies are out of my league! I bow to you!</p>

<p>Just for illustrative purposes only, jym! I wouldn’t think of spending that on shoes…way over the top.</p>

<p>Loving the shoes!!! The floral shoes are so happy and summery!</p>

<p>Picked up 2 pairs of shoes this afternoon for D2 who starts her summer job/internship next Monday. She won’t be home until Thursday night so I have been preshopping for her. She will be in an office environment and can’t have open-toed shoes/sandals. I found a pair of Coach Dotty black patent leather flats ($79) and a very cool pair of Calvin Klein gunmetal flats with a metal buckle embellishment ($39.90) at Nordstrom Rack!!! What a bargain! She has a major bunion (born with it) so most heels are out. Didn’t see anything for me though but I wasn’t really shopping for me.</p>

<p>Those Kate Spades are way beautiful. And Gourmetmom - do they have elastic straps in a blush pink? Those are what my SIL wore to her recent wedding:).</p>

<p>jym, ahh, window shoping is free :)</p>

<p>I love the flowered pumps. I need to stay away from this thread…I now own new fabulous Sperry espadrilles and a few other “items” and I had to sit on my hands not to “own” the Papell dress! I have that same “shape” bigger top thinner bottom…</p>

<p>It’s this shoe, but in glazed cork:</p>

<p>Ah. Not the same. But glorious nevertheless. I find Blahnik rarely disappoints. And momofthreeboys, you are doing us such a service:). I thank you…</p>

<p>Love how Gourmetmom’s Louboudin silver shoes have the red on the inside of the heel. Can just imagine the effect when walking in such shoes. </p>

<p>I think the Metropolitan Museum of Art needs to to do a shoe fashion exhibit like the clothes one . . . or have they already? Shoes can truly be objects of art! And enormous fun to window shop.</p>

<p>NorthernMinnesota . . . I have a funny feeling you’re going to go with a different dress than the purple flutter sleeve. Go with your heart. I look forward so much to having my own kids get married some day. College, careers . . . they pale in comparison to getting married. That’s the big one. If it takes until the stroke of midnight you must find the right dress! We’re here for you.</p>

<p>They look like my bronze Donald Pliner shoes, except my heel not as high (& cost less than $100). I do enjoy seeing the beautiful shoes in stores.</p>

<p>I really love the pictures of dresses, whether for parties, MOB, or brides</p>

<p>It is also more fun to spend someone else’s money.
I love some of the shoes and love to window shop but would not spend that amount on a pair of shoes.</p>
