Impulse purchase?

You are looking at a pair of Roger Vivier pointy d'Orsay flats in lavender suede:Which, as of a couple of weeks ago, have been in my possession for the grand total of $32, shipping included. To be clear, that's practically free! They're brand new but I suspect from some big-name store overstock since they were a bit dirty (nothing a suede brush and eraser could not take care of). The eBay seller listed them as "Roger VivieN," which I suspect allowed me to snag them at a fabulous price. Amazingly enough, they are authentic and the elastic back holds up pretty well. They're a bit pointy for my taste, but really--a pair of shoes from a legendary designer for basically peanuts? Hell yeah!

Now, what do I wear these with...pants I suppose, they strike me as looking weird with skirts. Can't wait!

Hmmm. I think tan wide legged pants, in a flowy, drapey fabric. Then a fitted lavendar sleeveless sweater on top. Very J. Peterman catalog. :)

I like the shoes, but I could never wear them, not with my wide feet. :)

I love that outfit! :)
I have medium-sized feet, and these are ok (they're longer than usual to accommodate for the pointy toe). Plus, the elastic back stays on, which is a pleasant surprise.

Also, I take a little bit of perverse pleasure in the fact that I'm wearing flats from the inventor of the stiletto heel. Cool!

What a deal! And a great d'orsay shoe. It's a wonder what ebay will render when you browse for long enough.
