Sometimes expensive doesn't equal comfort. And sometimes you need to try on a gazzillion other options to realize what you already had is perfect :)</p> <p>When Mr. Suz sees you in the entire beautiful outfit, he won't care a lick about your shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-dem-golden-slippers#post-941493 Sat, 25 May 2013 15:46:53 +0000 CocoLion 941493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I never thought these looked cheap so good job! &nbsp;Bird in hand and all that...</p> <p>To the uninitiated, the shiny gold animal/reptilian print may look glitzy so that's where DH's opinion could be coming from. &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-dem-golden-slippers#post-941445 Sat, 25 May 2013 14:45:29 +0000 Angie 941445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>An excellent example of what I was talking about in my post yesterday. We might think designer is always better - but it isn't always better. I believe that with all my heart, and this is coming from someone who has the utmost respect and appreciation for designer product. </p> <p>I'm glad you're keeping these, Suz! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-dem-golden-slippers#post-941424 Sat, 25 May 2013 14:21:55 +0000 lynn 941424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like these shoes! Cheap would never have crossed my mind and they look pretty on your feet. Comfortable too? Awesome! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-dem-golden-slippers#post-941401 Sat, 25 May 2013 13:25:20 +0000 Eliza 941401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad it worked out. &nbsp;This may just be the season of the chase! &nbsp;You are going to look fabulous. &nbsp;Sometimes it is a matter of working what you have.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-dem-golden-slippers#post-941398 Sat, 25 May 2013 13:21:07 +0000 bj1111 941398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was going to ask about the top situation, but apparently it is still in play.</p> <p>My offer still stands. Gala events need the extra effort. It takes a vilkage...to dress for a big event. Aplogies to hillary. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-dem-golden-slippers#post-941273 Sat, 25 May 2013 03:09:24 +0000 unfrumped 941273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><i></i><i></i>I love how you are coming up with a fab outfit without &nbsp;feeling as though you have to burn money.. I think it also reflects your talent and confidence in your style-- being able to sift through the options. Of course it is a great special occasion,, but sometimes it is good not to have to feel as though it is so precious that you have to devote inordinate resources to it, you know? That you can find the breakpoint of sense and sensibility. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-dem-golden-slippers#post-941261 Sat, 25 May 2013 02:51:09 +0000 Suz 941261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Totally comfortable! That's the crazy part. Cheap shoes usually equal major pain, but in this case, they were better than all the pricey ones I tried!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-dem-golden-slippers#post-941258 Sat, 25 May 2013 02:48:25 +0000 Thistle 941258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely shoes!

But the top situation is not so rosy, Joy! Stay tuned!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-dem-golden-slippers#post-941247 Sat, 25 May 2013 02:38:57 +0000 Sarah A 941247@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good! I think the heels shape is really nicely proportioned on these, and I bet they have breathed enough now not to be so stinky in the closet and will be just perfect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-dem-golden-slippers#post-941243 Sat, 25 May 2013 02:34:44 +0000 Anonymous 941243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay, Suz!&nbsp; I'm glad you have your shoes.&nbsp; I can't wait to see the whole outfit.&nbsp; Did you find a top for under the jacket? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-dem-golden-slippers#post-941239 Sat, 25 May 2013 02:26:53 +0000 Ariadne 941239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay! &nbsp;This gala is turning out to be a surprise bargain. &nbsp;How fantastic is that? &nbsp;Now you'll have to face the terrible, horrible task of finding something else to treat yourself with. &nbsp;;) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-dem-golden-slippers#post-941201 Sat, 25 May 2013 01:26:13 +0000 pil 941201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These look perfect for the occasion.

Lovely print with the metallic and the heel looks comfortable. The sling back adds a little sexy vibe. I'm sure you will find another occasion to wear them as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-dem-golden-slippers#post-941178 Sat, 25 May 2013 00:36:22 +0000 MNsara 941178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good job, now you know for sure these are the ones for you!&nbsp; Sometimes I need to do exactly that - keep shopping after buying to compare and be sure - to relax and feel confident about what I first picked.&nbsp; I envy Angie's decisiveness when she finds an item and can truly be done looking.</p> <p>It will be fun for you to see how you can fit these into other summer outfits after they've done gala duty. . . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-dem-golden-slippers#post-941171 Sat, 25 May 2013 00:27:59 +0000 Caro in Oz 941171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's great Suz.&nbsp;Now you know </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-dem-golden-slippers#post-941158 Sat, 25 May 2013 00:02:19 +0000 Mia 941158@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it. &nbsp;</p> <p>Sometimes it is great to look at all your options and know that you have the right piece. &nbsp;Gold footwear is really tough. &nbsp;I have been looking myself for literally years to replace a comfortable strappy gold sandal I had by Stuart Weitzman that become too shabby to wear anymore. &nbsp;I too have looked at those Choos, Manolos etc. with no success. &nbsp;Those glitter ones in particular look "cheap" to me. &nbsp;</p> <p>Anyway, they will be looking at your face and fab figure in that lovely suit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-dem-golden-slippers#post-941152 Fri, 24 May 2013 23:54:28 +0000 Anonymous 941152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I think they are perfect! They are comfy, and relatively inexpensive!

It will be a few more days... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-dem-golden-slippers#post-941142 Fri, 24 May 2013 23:40:30 +0000 Sveta 941142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they are fab, Suz. I guess men consider all shiny things "cheap".<br />Did you get the trousers hemmed already? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-dem-golden-slippers#post-941141 Fri, 24 May 2013 23:38:44 +0000 deb 941141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those will be just fine. I really like them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-dem-golden-slippers#post-941125 Fri, 24 May 2013 23:09:19 +0000 Mochi 941125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very tastefully sexy and polished. Can't wait to see the whole outfit styled with them. So glad it worked out--shoes can really be the Waterloo of an outfit, or logjam, or downfall...or I'm not finding the right word but hopefully you know what I mean!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-dem-golden-slippers#post-941124 Fri, 24 May 2013 23:08:28 +0000 MsMary 941124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good call!&nbsp; I love 'em!&nbsp; Good for you, for doing your due diligence! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-dem-golden-slippers#post-941120 Fri, 24 May 2013 23:05:01 +0000 Suz 941120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A few days ago, en route to my mother's, I got a couple of hours to power shop at Yorkdale for my upcoming gala. The goal? To find a pair of gold shoes that would not be as "cheap looking" (Mr. Suz's provisional verdict about my RW&amp;Co. specials) and a top to wear under the fuchsia suit.&nbsp;</p> <p>More tip top tales to follow, tomorrow.&nbsp;</p> <p>In the meantime, let me report on the footwear.&nbsp;</p> <p><i>I sought them here, I sought them there.&nbsp;</i><br /><i>My friends, I sought them everywhere.&nbsp;</i><br /><i>Were they in Davids or were they in Holts?&nbsp;</i><br /><i>Those peerless slippers made of gold.&nbsp;</i></p> <p>Guess what?&nbsp;</p> <p>I saw the Jimmy Choos. I saw the Kate Spades. I even saw the Manolo Blahniks.&nbsp;</p> <p>Along with a few other, less expensive varieties.&nbsp;</p> <p>And here was the thing. There were a number of sandals, none of which I much liked the look of.&nbsp;There were a number of glittery pumps, but most&nbsp;had peeptoes or high platforms or seemed clunky in some way; a couple had 5 inch heels, which is just going too high for me.&nbsp;I saw <b>no</b> pointy toed gold pumps at all on the sales floors. (They did exist in a few other colours, mostly nude, which could potentially have worked, but felt less festive.)&nbsp;</p> <p>The verdict? I'm keeping the ones I have.&nbsp;</p> <p>If you ask me, this falls under Angie's blog post today. And reminds me, once again, to leave no retail stone unturned.&nbsp;</p> <p>Oh, and Mr. Suz? Well, it turns out that he thought the pricey ones looked cheaper than the less expensive ones I got. And I had to agree with him!&nbsp; </p>
