This gal who hates to spend money on herself finally came down to the computer, credit card in hand, to order the adorable retro polka dotted shoes from Target for our engagement pictures a week from today..............
.........and they're sold out in my size.

Which is why when I find something I really like, I buy TWO of them. Sometimes three.
LOVE the background graphics. Who's the artist?
(nods) I should have bought them about a month ago when I first saw them, but I have a real hang up with spending money on myself sometimes, over the strangest things. My concern here was buying them online when I couldn't try them on in person first. Silly, I know. Ah well. Guess it wasn't meant to be :) The background is Luna Ascending by Marc Potts. Duirwaigh sells a print: http://www.duirwaighgallery.com/show_prod.php?image_num=1203§ion=113 I love how it looks like it could have been done by one of the Pre-Raphaelite or Art Nouveau greats :)
UGH! what size do you wear? are they only online or in the stores too? we have several targets around me so i could look for you if you wanted me to. let me know. warning-if you wear my size and i find them they make um, get lost in the mail!
I wear size 9. I've checked the Target stores here and in Youngstown, with no luck :(
can you send a photo of them again? i will check out the stores here for you.
thanks- i will see i can find a size 9(don't worry- i wear an 8 narrow so you are safe!). do you have a designer show warehouse near you(DSW)? they usually have funky shoes there too. if you don't, i can' try to check there too for something similar and take a photo. when are your photos being taken?
Photos are next Sunday (a week from yesterday). And honestly I think if no one miraculously finds the shoes today, I'm going to get a pair I saw at Kohls and liked (just not as much).
maybe get those as a backup just in case. if anyone finds the other ones it would be good because that is a great outfit that i am sure you will wear again and again. it could be your "going away" outfit for your wedding or for a wedding shower or whatever!
The thing I love about those shoes is that you could wear them with dresses OR jeans.
yes, and they are very "pin up" and i love the red accents too. hopefully i can find them or something close-get the ones from koels just in case!
oh, and i am cramming to get a bunch of art done for a big art fair this weekend, but i keep having to go out and get more supplies so i will see!
what size?? I have a black retro polka dress I wore one time and probably won't ever wear again. It is not the highest quality (its unlined) but it does look nice (the style just looks all wrong on me which is why I probably won't wear it again). If you'd rather email me, I'm emfsullivan at gmail.
Oh wait...are you offering a dress or shoes? (confused)
I hereby don't want to hear another mention of you being overweight!!! :P Sorry, my dress would be much too big for you. :)
I meant shoe size....dress size I wear a 10/12.
Hey, Grace! I was just going over my friends list, now that I have a computer again, and it occurred to me that you were one of my friends that I missed keeping up with the most. I am so glad that I met you through medievalmuse, and I am glad to be able to hear from you again! You always brighten my day.
I've missed seeing your updates as well! I hope you and the Hairy Scotsman are doing well... | |
