On the hunt for the elusive purple and striped shoes…
Shoe Diva Contributor: Sabritango
As of late, I’ve had to seriously curtail my shoe-buying ventures because I just moved to DC and am in the process of applying for my PhD in political science- and those applications are expensive! There goes all my shoe-buying money.
That being said, there is a pair of Comme il Fauts that I just cannot get off my mind. I saw them on the Lisadore website in size 34 a few months ago and I have been lusting after them ever since and I have not been able to find them anywhere let alone in my size! I have checked all the websites and I have asked all the distributors I know and they are just…. gone. This is one of those times that I curse Alicia Muñiz and Raquel Coltrinari for being so smart and frustrating by only manufacturing limited batches of their designs!
Here they are- and I realize that they may not be everybody’s favorite because they have stripes, but I love stripes and T-straps and purple is one of my favorite colors, so in other words, they are perfect:
Where are these shoes!? Has anybody seen them anywhere in size 37? Let me know if you find them, I am going to find these shoes if it’s the last thing I do! I will even halt my shoe purchasing hiatus if I can get my hands on them. I suppose I will just have to keep an eye out in case somebody decides to sell their pair somewhere.
In the meantime, I might buy these because they are gold and pony print and fabulous and I love them almost as much as the purple and striped pair:
I really like the purple stripe pair- but I have a quirky personality.
I have lately gotten much more finicky about my shoes and shoe buying (recall the 7 months I spent looking for a nice pair of low heel neutral shoes) so if it were me, I’d keep and eye out for the purple ones. Have you checked Kathleen’s website? She often has some models you don’t see elsewhere.
The pony print ones are nice, but if you’re low on cash, then I’d wait a bit…sounds like other pairs might also do at a later date…

I check Kathleen’s site all the time- I couldn’t find them there. I’ll probably wait on the pony-prints, but I just had a good interview with a couple of companies so if I get the job, I will be buying my “congrats-you-got-a-job” present to myself, haha. If not, I definitely owe myself a “congrats-you’re-done-applying” gift to myself.
Is it sad that I plan shoe-buying around significant events in my life?

not really- we are having a discussion at the moment on Dance Forums on tango clothing “on a budget” and I said I saved all my spare cash for shoes so I had to buy clothes on a budget. he he…

Ooh, the purple ones are gorgeous! I don’t suit purple next to my face but I reckon I could fancy a purple pair of shoes. They remind me of humbugs at the front and chocolate wrappers at the back – very edible!
Budget clothes, heehee, I get 5.00GBP dresses from eBay and wear with Comme il Faut! …it assuages my guilt (slightly) over the cost of the CIFs!

Ohh, I loved these when I first saw them…and resisted. I saw them about a year ago in Berlin…so, I guess you might just be too late…the ones that there were have all found their owners….

I and my sisters are having so much fun collecting shoes. What you have in here are so adorable, I hope to see something like this soon.
P.S.(Sorry for posting this twice)
