Fluevog will be the death of me....

Jul 27, 2009 17:44

A spate of emails today from GK about The Impending Wedding of Dr. Bizarre has reminded me that my own ensemble is not yet complete and has sent me scampering to the Clearance section on Fluevog.com, where I've been whimpering to myself about THESE---yes, without the chance to try them on. The styling is deliciously Deco; I adore its graphic ( Read more... )

Them, and much much more (expensive) at: http://www.fluevog.com/

Those really are great shoes. And that's a cool idea about altering the dress. Because I'm short-waisted, I have the devil's own time getting dresses that don't have the top slopping over my waistline, so I know exactly what you mean.

Well, I tried it on, and I *loved* the skirt. It's actually a good length, "tea-length", I believe is the term for a mid-calf, ankle-baring hemline. The top, not so much. At first, I considered removing it completely, but it was attached enough to make it a bother, and then, what would I replace it with? I'd either end up spending more money---which I would MUCH rather invest in shoes---or try to cobble something together and have it look amateurish. (I have no sewing machine. The plan will require some hand sewing, but not an ungodly amount.)

I have signed up for Fluevog emails, hoping that they may take after some of our constituents and offer free shipping on the first order. *fingers crossed*

If you can swing free shipping and they're comfortable, it would be a worthwhile investment. A girl can always use a pair of cute black heels for important occasions.

Absolutely. And all the reviews on the site talk about how very comfortable Fluevogs are. (And can you tell I love saying 'Fluevog'?! It sounds so very Scandinavian and flows so trippingly from the tongue!)

Well, I found a pair on that site called "Earth Angel" in my size on clearance. Their prices are so crazy that clearance would be the only way I could afford a pair--I may put them on my birthday list since they are on sale for $39.

The "Ariel"? Kinda like Mary Janes with criss-cross straps? They *are* kinda cute, and I'll bet they're really comfy.

Well, I took the plunge and ordered the shoes in olive- figured that's a good fall color. I like the white but I am one of those who doesn't wear white shoes after Labor Day- not to mention the fact that white shoes typically make my already large feet look like boats.
This will be my birthday gift to self. I started to get the black ones, too but there's no room in the budget.
Thanks for mentioning the site- I will check back often on their clearance items.

Yay! I've lured someone to The Dark Side Fluevog!

Olive's a good color. I have a pair of olive shoes I've pretty much killed the heels on, and it's a shame, because they're so versatile.

Perhaps I was hasty in ordering those shoes-- I got laid off today.
I wasn't surprised as business has been slow--but I had hoped .

You are the third person I know who was let go yesterday---two girls where I work were fired (one of whom was a friend of mine).

Think of it as having some nice shoes to interview in. Yeah.
