I think both look great on you. I say keep. Now you are making me want those sandals! Are they comfy with the steep pitch?

Thanks, dukeprincess. I didn't plan on keeping both, but I just might. The shoes aren't too bad considering there is no platform, but that's just around the house. The heel is roughly 110-120mm and the straps help keep my foot in place. I think when I add a heel grip and maypbe a thin gel ball of foot pad, they will be perfect! BTW, the quality is amazing. I haven't found a pair of shoes under $100 in ages with real leather and with such great workmanship.

I bought the same ones and also had to get a 6.5 instead of a 6. I really love them, but they are a half size big. My toes don't really stick out. So you put a heel pad in the back? Does that help to push the foot forward? Do you feel like you foot stays in place while walking?

Saira, I noticed that too when I first put them on. After awhile, the strap across the toes stretched out and my foot slid forward, so my toes "peeped" more, but I got a gap in the back and I needed to pull the straps tighter. Tighter straps helped keep most of my foot in place when I walked, but that gap in the heel bothered me... I'm going to experiment with a heel grip to make the gap smaller, but I'm also going to try a very thin gel ball of foot pad (kiwi smiling feet). I think that will help ensure my foot is in place.

Lovely shoes and perfect pedi!!!

They are beautiful!

Thank you, francy and sharilie! They are so versatile, I can't wait to wear them!

Does your blazer have the metallic threads running through? Either way, you look fab! I love the way you styled it... I think I'm going to keep mine now!

My outfit today- both top and skirt are zara! (shoes are jcrew, in case anyone was wondering)

Love the pastel colors!

Love the skirt and top combo. Perfect for spring/summer. The shoes are a perfect shade of nude on you too!

I'm wearing my black cool wool tube dress today and was going to pair it with the white fantasy fabric blazer, but I kept getting random clumps of the thick white thread on it. No bueno. So I switched to a boring cardigan. I like the jacket, but I might have to return it if it doesn't stop shedding.

It sheds because the edges are not finished. Very cheaply made jacket :/ they coverstitched the lining and fashion fabric.
 
Got the black studded fantasy fabric blazer and sure enough, it has metallic threads running through it. It was a little jarring at first because i was not expecting it, but after ten minutes, I started to get used to it. It's pretty subtle. It's pretty roomy in the shoulders and I love the length. Im not used to jackets that hang open, so we'll see if I keep it. Here's a modeling shot (sorry, I just got out of the gym)

It looks great on you. I returned mine because I really didnt like the metallic threads. Hope I can track down one of the plain black ones soon.
 
Yeah, I've noticed all their blazers this spring shed like crazy. The black studded, the red zebra lined, the white fantasy...sigh.

they all have the same crappy/cheap finishing techniques. it's the main reason why i didn't buy one. i might as well buy the fabric and do it myself... they didn't put much effort into finishing it nicely. well, that's why it's a fairly cheap price.
 
I almost bought the white fantasy jacket today, i have been wanting a white jacket for a long time now but i love so many things from there, it's crazy. Everytime i go to Zara, i always bring something home. I've already bought a black/white tulip dress (so cute), 2 floral jeans, a floral shorts & today a white t-shirt dress w/ a deep U back & 2 tops. I'm still thinking if i really need that jacket & so many others that confused me.
Anyway, i have pics of 1 floral jeans for now... I love the fit.
Tan top is also Zara, the fabric is so flowy, the back have a very long gold zipper, 3/4 sleeves & high/low length.

The other jeans w/ a very faint & dainty floral print that is very similar to the Current Elliot floral jeans that cost $200+ (i'll post pics later)
