Modelling YSL Tribute Sandals

[CelticLuv]

So....my 2nd ever YSL purchase arrived from Saks online.
I was crazy over the colors and multi-blocking when I saw them online (never saw in person) however I have some hesitations...

1. What can I wear these with? solid color outfits, shorts, dresses? I'm at a loss

2. When I inspected them I noticed pen or ink marks on the outside suede of the footbed on the left shoe. Also a faint smudge on the outer white suede on the right shoe. Very disheartening. I contacted Saks online and all they kept saying was "we cannot discount on damaged merchandise". Apparently my only option is to return these, which are the LAST pair in the company or any where that I can find!
They were on sale for $522. What would you do in this case? I do love them but not knowing what to wear with them, that they came with pen marks and knowing I may never find them again is causing my indecisiveness.

Presenting....Tribute 105 Multicolor Suede.

PEN MARKS:

Please give me all your honest opinions and thoughts!
TIA!

I have these and I absolutely love them! Love love love. So far, I try to keep the outfit pretty simple since the shoes are such a statement. Ive worn them with this dress:

A dress shaped exactly like this but in a jersey material:
http://www.polyvore.com/jay_ahr_double_neck_dress/thing?id=961143

Dark wash skinny jeans, white button up

Really just pick a color in the shoe and dress around it. I get so many compliments whenever I wear them.

As far as the pen marks- that's a real bummer. I'd maybe take them to a Saks store and talk to someone in person. Or take them to your cobbler and see if they can clean them?

Thanks sneezz!!



They were on sale, $404 from nordstrom....can't beat that price!!

omg seriously!! $404!! Which nordstrom???? I am going to call! They are so nice and are a nice addition to your collection!!!

OMG ANOTHER????
I LOVE THESE TOO!!
I cannot see the pen marks you are talking about. And I think with this type of shoe-it being suede and all will get somewhat dirty anyway. I think they are gorgeous and should defenitley keep! I know some people that paid full price for these which I think is near $1000! so you could let the little defects pass no? lol
Also I think you could wear this with any solid colors either alone or combined. Think a black dress or white pants and black top type thing!
Soooooo cute though! keep!
Just my opinion!

after seeing all these really gorgeous shoe's I am thinking I may need to get me a pair, are these usually sold year around? Or are you able to grab these on clearance? I was looking and saw the red but there is a new blue (navy) that can be pre ordered which I am thinking of getting next month.

You can buy these year round as it is considered one of their Classic, Iconic, Trademark styles. They run from the mid 700's to about 1100 for the suede and even higher for the exotic leathers. They have a lot of good sales going on now so it's a great time

IMHO the defect is pretty minor. Gorgeous shoe at an unbeatable price!

Has anyone purchased the tribute sandals with the wooden heel? have my eyes on a red one but not so sure if I should stick with the classic regular heel.

Oh I know what they cost I have been watching them on Saks site, I just wanted to make sure I could get them year around and to see if they might go on clearance in the fall. Good to know that they will be around I need a all around pump first so I am going to get that first then these as they are really nice.

They look really nice on you and I agree with the pairing suggestions. Quite honestly I think the pen mark is in a place that is not visible to the naked eye unless you expect people to be looking at eye level at your shoe. I think only Pygmy people can achieve that lol. However if it's bothering you and you think it will prevent you from enjoying them then return them. No sense in keeping something in your closet when you can spend the $ on something you LOVE. HTH.

^^Agree with snezz. These are gorgeous! I commented on your first pair in the CL thread but you are off with a bang with these 2 pairs! Welcome to a new dark side Celtic!

God I love that pair you could wear them with almost everything from basic jeans to a formal outfit have a great time with those beauties

 

[jsc6]

LOVE the color combination. It's definitely a statement shoe, so keep your outfit simple and let the shoes shine. Jeans and a simple silk top or even a solid colored dress. I think you should keep them, like people have stated above, you can hardly see the mark unless someone is actually at eye level with your feet.

 

[creighbaby]

These are seriously insane!!! I have these in black and they are pretty, but the red-I am speechless

Thank you! I really lucked out when the other woman decided not to get them.

Lee Lee thank you so much for your styling ideas!! I'm actually going to send them to my Saks SA several states away to see if he can fix the pen indent marks. Here's hoping!

:d
omg seriously!! $404!! Which nordstrom???? I am going to call! They are so nice and are a nice addition to your collection!!!

Nordstrom in NC. My SA there found them for me, I live couple states from him. I hate to say it but from what my SA was telling me, this colorway is all sold out. Sorry sweetie
Thanks for your outfit ideas, I appreciate it!!

It is definitely a new dark side, fmd
I have to admit I'm still my 1st love is CL but YSL is a very close 2nd. I love the Tributes and Tribtoos!!! And they are sooooo comfortable!

God I love that pair you could wear them with almost everything from basic jeans to a formal outfit have a great time with those beauties

Thanks Flyboy, I'm looking through my closet now to start pairing outfits with these gorgeous heels!

A statement shoe...you are so right jsc6. They truly are.
