I have gotten several pairs of wedges from Sole Society lately. Some have been hits and some have been misses. About 50/50, really.

First up, the hits. I got Carmen in purple and love, love, love them. They're a great height, fit perfectly, and are an obvious Tory Burch knock off with the cute medallion on the vamp. I wish I liked some of the other colors that they have, I'd get them all.

I also grabbed Parker because I needed a leopard wedge and was sucked in by the pony hair. These are also a great height, fit wonderfully, and are superbly made. They are definitely worth the $60 they retail for. I have no complaints.
And now, the misses:

| On the site - normal Zebra |
Have you ever seen a brown and black Zebra? No? Neither had I until Margaret came in and aren't anything remotely close to what is shown on the site. On the site, they're an off white and black zebra stripe with silver hardware. In real life, they're a dark tan and black stripe with gold hardware. I was not pleased, to say the least. I like my zebras to either be au nauturel or pink. I'll give them credit for comfort though, so much so that I seriously considered swapping them for a different color in the suede version, but decided I don't like the color of the wedge on them. Instead I decided on a totally different pair of wedges, which brings me to Krista.

| BCBG Trinity |
I got Krista in black thinking they'd be a cute, but non-boring commuter shoe but I was wrong. They're definitely comfy and the perfect height and comfort for commuting, but they are deathly boring. the rhinestones on the toe and heel just don't stick out like I was hoping for. I sent them back and got
Sheila instead. Luckily though, a few days later, I was at Marshall's and found the 'real' version of Krista, BCBGeneration Trinity in purple jewel and fell head over heels in love with them. They may not be a practical color, but they're the gorgeous that I was hoping for with Krista. I'm supremely happy with them.The best part is that they were only $40, instead of the $50 that I paid for Krista.
I need those BCBG wedges! I got Krista in stucco before the whole SS credit fiasco and it's one of the comfiest shoes I own. Alas, I will not do business with SS anymore, there is no Marshall's around here, and I can't find the Trinity online. :(
ReplyDeleteMy Marshall's also has them in a really nice gray. I can check sizing and see if they have yours. It wouldn't be the first time I've shipped a Marshall's find to someone. LOL
DeleteAs for SS, I've still got other credits to burn through over there and then I'm done too. Tomorrow's post details all that crap. LOL
Are they a dark grey? SS's "stucco" is more of a light taupe grey, rather than the platinum grey they look like on the product page. The picture of the toe area is closest to how they look in real life. Though if Marshall's has the purple ones in an 8, I'd be on that like ugly on a Baldwin brother!
DeleteThe ones at Marshall's are a pretty true gray. Neither dark nor light. I won't have a chance until this weekend, but I can swing by and see if they've got the purple in an 8. If so, I can get them and we'll work out the details later.
DeleteAnd I'm cracking up about the Balwin comment! LMAO
Any luck finding the purple wedges?
DeleteI've been in there twice - the first time, the entire shoe department was messed up and I couldn't find anything. The second time, I couldn't find the purple or the gray ones anywhere. I don't know if they sold out or if they didn't get put back out when they rearranged everything. :(
DeleteDarn.... thanks for looking, anyway!
