Help please!! so conflicted!!

So I am very new to all this (literally created this account minutes ago so that I could post), but I'm in the process of buying my first pair of Princetown mules...although I think this question may have been addressed earlier in this thread, I couldn't help but ask again for myself. Also I think my boyfriend is getting tired of hearing me talk about them :)

Anyways, I'm in Italy for the next month or so, and I have 100% decided that i WILL buy a pair of Princetowns before I leave (Also, considering the tax refund and the fact they're less expensive here than in the states already...is it crazy I think they're almost affordable?? :angel:). While others might dream of all the pasta or gelato here...I dream of these shoes, and trying to decide which style to go for keeps me up at night. I'm torn between the rose embroidered ones and the plain black ones. With all other designer purchases I make, i ALWAYS (well, usually) start from the most basic styles (since I intend to wear them until I literally can't anymore) and work my way up, however, the embroidered ones are pretty basic themselves.

I just love how classic and timeless the classic black ones are, but the rose ones are just SO pretty. I've tried them both on already, and I thought the rose makes the vamp look ever so slightly shorter, and they're just classic enough that I don't think i'd get sick of them. here's whats killing me - what if i DO get sick of the roses? simply because they're not the most basic style, my stupid brain tells me they're "trendy" and I really do try to stay away from most trends since they are always so fleeting.

Can anyone help?? either reassure me that the embroidered ones will last me as long as I want them to, from a style standpoint, or that they won't? any words of wisdom are welcome. Thanks sooo much in advance!!!

I’d say basic black if you’re conflicted about longevity-I personally don’t worry about that and would just get what I love most!

I'd say go for the roses. They're the ones that make your heart sing and it will be nice to have a more unique pair of shoes to associate with a special trip. Sounds like you will get the black ones eventually anyhow, so let those come from your regular every day store.

I'm a bit biased as I own a pair of the rose mules, but that's my vote!! They literally go with everything I own, and I think they are just as timeless as the plain black ones. The rose pair jazzes up every outfit, they're just so fun and unique without being too loud or obnoxious!

I have the rose embroidered mules and I absolutely love them! I thought I would have difficulty styling them, but they go with so much.

am i allowed to say just get both overseas and just limit your spending for a few months when you get back home? [emoji23][emoji16][emoji38] it does seem like you really do want both. i'd says roses since the classic black will always be around but if they're a decent amount cheaper over there, get both!! (sorry, i am of zero help.. [emoji23])

I'm echoing what others have already said.

If you find the roses in your size take them first. The classic black will be the last to be rested, if you want them later there'll be another chance.

Personally I wear a lot of funky shoes. The shinier and brighter the better. I dress plainly and jazz it up with crazy shoes. I don't worry about getting sick of them because there is always something new and shinier I want and get excited over long before I've gotten sick of the old ones.

Like no matter how much I tell myself I will buy a pair of shoes to wear them until there are holes in the soles, the fact is I will wear them a ton for the first months but then they will get less rotation just naturally when I buy the next new, more exciting thing.
