Jeje...<br /> In case you are still looking for leopard flats, I have these guys and I love them:<br /> I bought them much cheaper. I've spotted them on the bay from time to time.<br /> <a href="http://www.neimanmarcus.com/p/Cole-Haan-Air-Morgan-Leopard-Print-Slipper-Flats/prod141290293/?ecid=NMCIGoogleBaseFeed&#038;003=5840816&#038;010=X0Z28&#038;ci_src=14110944&#038;ci_sku=prod141290293skuLEOPARD" rel="nofollow">http://www.neimanmarcus.com/p/.....skuLEOPARD</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/0726-wiw-to-return-the-blondos#post-678980 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 01:20:20 +0000 MNsara 678980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, love neon earrings and your returnning at Nordies outfit!</p> <p>I missed the Blondo decision, but think your leopard flats look pretty cute. They definitely have the moccasin vibe, and it sounds like that's not what you're after.</p> <p>I am going to add another vote to trying the Me Too Patty leopard shoes. I have also not had good luck getting Me Toos to fit properly (I have a slighty wide foot), but I ran across a pair of these at Nordstrom Rack and they fit really nicely!! I brought them home, but haven't actually worn them out and about yet.</p> <p>I tried a Patty pair in the same size in all black, but it was narrower or something -- not nearly as comfortable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/0726-wiw-to-return-the-blondos#post-678949 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 00:32:42 +0000 KathyL 678949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry about the flats/slippers. So frustrating! Your outfit is super cute though, and I love the bright earrings! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/0726-wiw-to-return-the-blondos#post-678939 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 00:06:55 +0000 merwoman 678939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You made me laugh AJ - love your humour - and love your Nordstrom's return/shopping outfit! I think those "you look so fab in this" mirrors are in a lot of stores. And then there's the lighting... if it isn't the mirrors casting a spell, it's the lighting that does us in We need special "realism" glasses! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/0726-wiw-to-return-the-blondos#post-678932 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 00:01:07 +0000 sarah 678932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm sorry about the flats : (</p> <p>(pssst...don't tell Angie that the last time I went to Nordie's was on the way home from Pilates, in full gear, and a time before that was on the way to the beach, in my swim suit with a sundress as cover up...) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/0726-wiw-to-return-the-blondos#post-678893 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 23:17:15 +0000 K. Period. 678893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a disappointment about the leopard flats. I totally see what you mean, though. Yours are crisper. I suspect La Francaise is right, that the structure of the pointy toe helps them. I have leopard flats that I love, and they are pointy too. Hmmmm. Neon earrings? Very fun and super cute on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/0726-wiw-to-return-the-blondos#post-678888 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 23:14:58 +0000 rae 678888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those earrings are awesome! And yes, I do feel I have to try more going to certain stores. Nordies is one - and especially if it is in a fancier mall!</p> <p>The shoes do kinda look like house slippers... too bad. :T But with how hard leopard was trending, you should find something perfect if you keep looking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/0726-wiw-to-return-the-blondos#post-678873 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 22:53:55 +0000 AJ 678873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@La Francaise - Those look nice! I've tried on many Me Too's but they don't fit my foot comfortably. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/0726-wiw-to-return-the-blondos#post-678868 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 22:50:53 +0000 Anonymous 678868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jem found some super leopard skin flats. I've ordered them too! Your own DON'T look like slippers. But these are pointy, which makes them a bit dressier, perhaps? <a href="http://www.zappos.com/me-too-patty?zlfid=2" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/me-too-patty?zlfid=2</a> (just change the colour from pewter to tan leopard to see what we're buying) Hope this helps! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/0726-wiw-to-return-the-blondos#post-678864 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 22:46:13 +0000 AJ 678864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1) My Nordstrom is in an indoor mall. Normally when I go shopping, I try to look put together, but nothing particularly special. However, when I know I'm going to Nordstrom, I feel the need to try a bit more. Am I the only one that thinks this way?</p> <p>2) Close-up of my new neon yellow earrings from Nordstrom Rack earlier this month. Dipping my toes in the neon trend!</p> <p>So I returned the Blondo's and looked at the hoisery. I almost bought the Commando big dots, but then decided that they would overwhelm my chicken bone legs. : P So I bought the Nordstrom brand black sheer hose. Anyone have any reviews on the house brand? I also got a pair of Hue black tights with a chevron type pattern.</p> <p>I then stepped into the shoe department to see if they had any animal print flats calling my name. I tried on the DV by Dolce Vita 'Folly' Bootie<br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/dv-by-dolce-vita-folly-bootie/3326542?origin=keywordsearch&#038;fashionColor=&#038;resultback=0" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/dv.....sultback=0</a><br /> Very fun, but I felt that I wouldn't wear it much. </p> <p>I then spied these Sam Edelman Jalen flats:<br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/sam-edelman-jalen-flat/3271235?origin=PredictiveSearch&#038;fashionColor=&#038;resultback=3762" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/sa.....tback=3762</a><br /> So comfy and the pointy gold studs made me happy for some reason. The colors seem to go nicely with my skintone, so I said yes even though they were not on sale. </p> <p>3) Got home and took this picture to show y'all...BLAH!!! They look like house slippers! What was I thinking?! Maybe Nordstrom shoe mirrors have a magic spell to make you think that your feet look FAB in their shoes. Yep, that's the story I'm sticking with!</p> <p>4) Comparison to my favorite Payless leopard flats that I'm trying to replace with better quality. Hmmm...the black on the vamp helps break up the animal print. I guess I have to look for something similar. Oh well, back to the drawing board. </p> <p>Oh man, I have to come up with another Nordstrom shopping outfit!! </p>
