Ladies, I need some help!
I saw these shoes a while ago and fell in love with them instantly
I decided to wait to see if they got marked down at the end of the season
Well, they are! The only thing is, I could swear they were $795, so 40% off would be like $500
But they're not - they're $995, so 40% off is more around $600 (plus tax!)

I'm now a little hesitant to get them because I wonder how versatile they really are
What would you wear these shoes with? Only solid colors? Would you wear them with say, a black skirt?
I really love these shoes, but I just don't know if I'd get much wear from them
I have one dress that's navy blue w/red trim (the one from the Jason Wu for Target line) that I think these would look amazing with
But I don't think I have anything else that would be a good match - most of my dresses are prints, so I think there'd be too much going on
I don't have a lot of solid color dresses

Hi there. I tried those on when they arrived in boutique and they were more expensive than the "usual" tributes: 795 euros. So I think they were 995dollars:smile1:...I absolutely love these shoes but unfortuinately, they don't come in 75 heels...so way too high for me! They'd go with casual to evening wear, pretty easily IMO...
Tell us what you decide, OK?

I know these aren't Tributes but I wanted some opinions - found these @ TJMaxx. They're white leather & black suede. Thoughts? What would you wear these with? Plain black skirt & white T? Jeans w/a solid color top? Do you think you can wear these with other colors? What about prints? Do you think they're pretty versatile, or are you limited to pretty much just B&W?

well, these Tributes (multicolor suede) WERE more expensive compared to the plain ones... They will go with any neutrals, I also think they will look just fine with prints, too (just in the same color palette) if you keep the rest of your accessories to a minimum and neutral. HTH! :kiss:

I think that they would work great with an array of solid colors as well as prints. I wouldn't suggest larger prints because it may look a bit too busy, but I think that you can definitely get a lot of wear out of them is you really like them :smile1:

Thank you for the input & suggestions! I decided not to get them - for now! Maybe if they're still around after 2nd markdown I'll reconsider. I tried them on a while ago & just loved them, but I just don't think I'd wear them enough to warrant paying almost $700 for them, however . . . .

I did find another pair of Tributes sandals that I Pre-saled from Saks! They're a solid nude color, which I know I'll be able to wear with so much more, and those were less than $600 after the markdown!

How hard is it to photograph yourself in heels??? No matter which way I twisted and turned, my feet either looked weirdly contorted or my ankles looked huge.

I usually stand up with one foot turned out, bend over and take the picture upside down! Then use the Rotate Photo option when you upload the pic to your computer or front your phone! Works every time! (notice that the date stamp is at the top upside down?)

The ones I bought aren't on the website. I'm not sure what the actual color name is, but my SA said its pink, something or other (but she described it as Nude, or a "flesh" color). In the info that was posted from Jonathan at the Atlanta store, they're listed as "Pearlized nude embossed patent leather Tribute"

The ones on the website are called "Straw Embossed Patent Leather" and they come I'm either red or blanco Cream, which is more a shade of white (pic attached)

I sent my SA the pic that Jonathan provided and she swears they're the same shoe/color, so we'll see when they get here - if they're not the right color, I'll probably just return them.

They look more white in this photo than in person, if they're the ones I'm thinking of. I've seen three "nude" colors... this one which is the lightest (but is not white... more beige), a pinkish pearly beige (these last two are both straw embossed), and a tan nude. There are more variations in plain leather, but that's all I've seen in patent so I think you're thinking about the right variation.

I'd say play with some color! Black skirt, blue blouse... maybe crop jeans, white t, bright orange necklace.... Even plain color skirt
(maybe a bright) with a polka-dot top!

JJ---I LOVE these!!!! I don't remember where I saw them, but they are gorgeous. I can't wear this style, otherwise I would get them. I think they would go with anything really, just make sure the print is not to 'busy'.
