One thing,...Now redundant but oh yay, I love these! One thing, I am not so crazy about beige shoes either, but try it. If you get tired of the color, it´s very easy to dye pale shoes darker. I think you are supposed to use a special cleansing product but where I bought the dye they advised me to rub out all the color you can with some cotton wool and rubbing alcohol and then apply the dye with a sponge and a brush ( you need both actually. sponge to smooth, brush to make it stick some places). Let it dry, apply a second coat, let it dry really well before using. So far a success...https://www.blogger.com/profile/05480440029610369263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-4718291670917105732010-04-28T14:39:03.864-04:002010-04-28T14:39:03.864-04:00Thanks for all the help, dear readers!

I think I read some...those are insanely wonderful.<br /><br />I think I read somewhere that every woman needs a pair of nude shoes 'cause they can be worn with anything. Looks close enough to nude in my book!<br /><br />Buy them now. Or jump over to the Clark's store, try them on, be totally convinced how fantastic they are, and then buy them. It'll take you all of 15 minutes...<br /><br />I've popped into Clark's so quickly sometimes that I still get the free transfer on my MetroCard!Binkydollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03114235723389534329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-68855457957493985002010-04-28T10:10:20.003-04:002010-04-28T10:10:20.003-04:00These are fabulous!!

I like the idea of having at least one pair of beige shoes in my wardrobe; something similar to one's skin tone can be great for elongating legs or blending in a bit more when you want the rest of the outfit to take center stage. I say go for these!<br /><br />I'm in a seasonal shoe buying mood lately too! Although this year I'm trying not to go overboard. ;) I just ordered pair of tan wedges from ASOS and am eagerly awaiting their arrival!<br /><br />♥ Casey<br />blog | elegantmusings.comCaseyhttp://elegantmusings.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-1993012741285335312010-04-28T07:17:07.414-04:002010-04-28T07:17:07.414-04:00LOVE the heel!

But I recently bought the most comfortable sandals of my life from there, and they're cute too - I've received more than one compliment whilst wearing them.

These are the right side of grannyish for me - a shoe that hasn't forgotten to look cute!<br /><br />That said, I'm very upset with Clarks at the moment. They have a very cute pair of cherry red 50s flat wedge sandals in their Original range (Vanilla Cream they're called, despite coming only in black and red...). Mine arrived in a UK sz 8/ US sz 11 (the largest they do) and... they're too small! They fit to perfection my 10 year old daughter (who is a size 7), so I guess I'll get the benefit of seeing them all summer, but it's not the same now, is it?Nathaliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11570545194570856281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-25299597514378145732010-04-28T04:25:07.993-04:002010-04-28T04:25:07.993-04:00As so many others have said - is it the right shad...As so many others have said - is it the right shade of nothing to go against your skin or likely hosiery? Personally, I am wary of plastic wooden heels, they can look a bit cheap. I prefer cork. And I would want ballet pink-type nude rather than "American Tan" - but then again that is probably down to my British skintones!<br />Have you looked at Fly London shoes?
