Ordered these shoes from GoJane.com for my sister's wedding coming up on November 12th!
Her colors are champagne and these were the perfect shade ♥
I guess they're knocks offs of Jeffrey Campbell's Foxy,
but I'm very happy with mine since they were exactly what I needed and it was affordable!
It's definitely on my wish list to purchase a pair of Jeffrey Campbell shoes, or maybe several, LOL. Chunky types shoes have been a favorite of mine since I was a child (probably because I've always been the shortest xD) so it's natural for me to gravitate towards them.
If you'd like to check out these specific shoes. Here's the link.
They have a good range of sizes and also have "Pewter" in stock, which is a silver/grey.
I'm definitely in LOOOOOVE with these shoes ♥ I wanted to get something I would still wear constantly after the wedding. These can be fancy or casual (to me at least). The heel is 5.25" which is what I was aiming for because one of the bridesmaids is about 5'10" and us girls would have looked really unbalanced xD
The slant isn't too steep either since the platform is about 2 inches or so. They're very comfortable to wear even after a few hours of walking around barefoot.
I did read the reviews before purchasing and they said it's true to size. Maybe one said it's a little big but I went ahead and ordered them in 6.5 but when I tried them on, they were hecka loose (I would have shown a picture without socks but my toes freak me out xD and you can see it's fairly spacious in the picture below). My sister is a size 7 and she could wear these, so maybe get a size smaller. However, I've been wearing them okay because of the strap. They keep my feet in and maybe they're more comfortable due to the fact that I have more room in them. I don't quite know.
Also, after I got these shoes I went to a few different shoe stores to see what size my feet were because I was really confused xD Turns out my feet got smaller anyways. So I fit between 5.5 to 6 depending on the brand.
That's one of the things that suck about ordering things online. You never know what you're gonna get. Either way, I am happy with them even if it's a size or two too big. Like I said, they're comfy even without socks. The strap doesn't even dig into my skin. There are 2 or 3 holes. I couldn't tell. It's like it didn't get punctured through completely so I had to force in 2 holes to make the strap tighter if need be. It didn't seem to hurt the shoe though.
Another thing I love about these shoes is the front, how it has that angle to walk more comfortably instead of walking like a spider xD That's one of the things that drive me nuts about some high heels. The front is flat, so I can't walk very casually. It's that "high heel walk" that some women do xDDD
I've worn these out plenty of times already to break them in but they were comfortable right off the bat. I just need to make sure I don't misstep or this'll be me:
The shipping was fast and the way they came in the mail was in the shoe box but the shoe box was just inside a plastic bag so I think they got beat up a little. Inside the box, they weren't wrapped individually so it caused them to rub against each other and the glittery was coming off. I don't think all the glitter will come off though. I think that'll take some time if that'd even happen.
Along with the heels, I got new plugs from Painful Pleasures. Not only for the wedding but because I lost one of my old ones when I went for a jog outside xD I didn't take them out and one just popped out into someone's lawn. I went back twice to look for it and it was lost to the grass forever. I like these better anyways :3 They have a better balance of weight even for single flares. They're much more beautiful in person than in pictures too.
I've ordered from Painful Pleasures before and they're always quick with shipping and have good customer service :3 Not sure if their prices are good compared to other sites though. I don't buy a lot of body jewelry.
My ears are stretched up to 7/14 though I'll probably stretch them to 1/2 at some point.
Oh, and I've already broken the o-rings, LOL. The black rubber rings at the bottom. But they stay in well because of the balanced weight.
(For some odd reason, I've always been insecure about my ears since I was younger . ___.' So I had to wear my earcuff to make things look prettier, LOL. I love how it matches so well :3 Don't forget to check out These Pretty Things where I got the earcuff from!)
Here's the dress by the way!
I am the Matron of Honour but we're all wearing the same dress. I still need to figure out how I'm going to differentiate from the other girls without over doing it. Not like I'd be able to tred on my sister's tracks, she's gonna look absolutely outstanding, but I just don't want to wear something she doesn't like. The shoes I was originally going to get didn't appeal to her and it bothered me too much to get them. I'm pretty positive I'm happier with the shoes I got anyways :3
I'm trying to figure out what to do with my hair too. My sister will have her hair down in curls, cascading over both shoulders so I can do my normal hair style. This dress makes my short neck look even shorter xD So I'm uncomfortable having my hair up. I just need to keep thinking and looking around for what styles to do.
