Go ‘Horns! – It’s the Great Pumpkin!
Shoe Diva Contributor: bastet
Here is my long awaited post. I will try to keep it short (for me) on words and sweet…
I joined Greta Flora’s Facebook group, where they have a running list of limited edition shoes they have available and saw a really great pair of shoes that I instantly loved.
These were the shoes I saw:
I saw them about 2 days before I got my first pair of Greta’s (in October) and as soon as I saw that the size was right, I wrote to find out if they were still available. They were not, but the shoes I got from Kathleen were great. Greta Flora is a respectable company…so I asked if they could make another pair for me, in a slightly lower heel. They said yes.
After almost 3 months of waiting, this is what arrived at my doorstep…
And if I loved the UT Longhorns (I hate football), and orange patent leather, these would be great but did I mention just ow much extra work I had to do to save up for these???
They do fit, and are very well made. The flower is HUGE (but not the red suede I loved on the other pair)…and they do have the saffron foot bed and straps I wanted…but all that other PUMPKIN color…OYE!
So, I love Greta Flora. They couldn’t even make all orange look truly horrible. I will still buy their shoes (from places I can return to). But I am seriously unhappy that they didn’t tell me they were out of the reddish reptile material for the heel….
Now what to do? Tell me readers…do I leave them alone, and glory in their orange-ness?
Do I make some effort to at least change the flower color? (Patent can’t be changed.)
Stone the back and flower with Swarovski?
Combination of any of those?
