When it comes to boots, I rarely buy non-designer boots...if ever. However, I was DESPERATE for grey booties. For some unknown reason, grey boots brings out the hooker, hoochie and hag in the majority of designers. I wanted everyday grey booties. No fringe, no bling and no sky-high heels. No luck. It was down right disheartening.
I don't remember the last time I purchased shoes/boots at Nine West but when I saw their e-mail that they were having a up-to-70% off sale, I took a peek. And I found these lovely grey suede Rhona booties at 50% off for only $59.50 (with free shipping!):
The 4" heel is a little higher than my usual choice of heel height but the 1/2" platform evens things out for me (so I don't look like an idiot when I walk). I'm usually a size 6.5 but after reading the reviews online, I decided to go up 1/2 a size to 7. They're slightly loose but they don't pinch, so I'm pretty happy with them. (I guess I'll just be wearing thicker socks? Or maybe add a lining?)
Now: I'm less of a boot snob.
Update: Timely Sale-on-Sale!! Buy 2 pairs of shoes/boots, get 15% off. Buy 3 pairs of shoes/boots, get 20% off. No code needed. This promotion expires 1/17/11.
Love Nine West, need these shoes.
