Hello Ladies,
I could use a little help. I just purchased two pairs of Chanel flats. One pair is a metallic blue with a black toe cap in patent. The other is beige clair, also in patent. I wasn't planning on buying any shoes today, but as luck - or not - would happen my old shoe guy at Nordstrom saw me running past the shoe department and, of course, glancing at the Chanel shoes. Then he calls out - we just got 2 pairs in your size....and well...you know the rest of the story.
So here are my pros and cons and I'll post a photo.
The blue metallic with black toe cap:
Pros:
- very pretty
- goes great with jeans
- actually fit me perfectly (size 4)
- I wear a lot of navy and black
Cons:
- ???? not sure there are any
- OK - I don't really need them
- I have a pair of blue suede Chanel flats - they will need to be replaced within the year
Beige Clair flats:
Pros:
- very pretty
- I have been casually looking for a pair of flats in this color for awhile - I am picky about the shade of beige
- I think these are more neutral - I am trying to wear more cream and beige
Cons:
- a little big - they are a size 4.5 but with pads fit perfectly
- not really sure what colors to wear with them - what colors would you wear?
- I have a pair of Chanel flats in leather that are cream with a gold toe cap. I don't wear them much as they could get dirty so easily
Other pertinent information:
My husband is getting ready to retire and I have promised to think very thoughtfully about all purchases - clothing, jewelry, shoes,and purses. He would like me to practice slowing down. So this may be a test in self control and discipline.
I had sworn off all things Chanel, at least for now, and a story for another time. Having said that to find shoes in my size is never easy and I know these will last years. For me to buy these I need to be certain.
What would you do? What would you pick? Thank you for weighing in!!!!
