Oscar de la Renta polka dot pumps, $625
I almost wanted to cry when I saw these shoes: partly because they’re just so darn fabulous, of course, but mostly because I can’t have them. Well, they’re $625: that number would need a decimal point in it somewhere to make these even remotely affordable to me at the moment, but hey, a girl can dream, and when THIS girl dreams, it’s very often about polka dot shoes.
These are very close to being the perfect shoes as far as I’m concerned. If I had one wish it would be that the upper was leather, rather than grossgrain: don’t get me wrong, it looks absolutely beautiful, but the delicate fabric marks these out as special occasion shoes for me (They wouldn’t be a whole lot of use in all the rain we’ve been having lately, for instance), and it seems a shame to reserve them for only the occasional outing. Actually, scratch that: if I had one wish, it would be that I could afford to buy them, regardless of the material of the upper. Obviously.
In my closet, these would work with just about everything, and while even I would hesitate to pair them with my vast collection of polka-print clothing, the fact that they’ll go effortlessly with any block colour is another mark in their favour.
Aww these are so cute! But way overpriced. I’m sure we can find something less expensive but equally beautiful.
They are ridiculously expensive but completely gorgeous.
I saw you wrote about the Boden slingbacks – they have a round toed black polka dot pair similar to these this season as well. Obviously not as glamorous but a cheap alternative!
