Me? I was blessed with freakishly long arms, huge feet, and crazy ass long legs. Before you say something like "I would love to have long legs" or some kind of crap, stop. It is hard to find clothes that fit me, if I do, it's usually a fluke. Like, the shirt with freakishly long arms that's on clearance because no normal armed person could wear it.
I have finally found pants that fit me. Several stores now make a 35" inseam. Buckle even has jeans that are a 37" inseam, do you know what that means? That means I can wear heels!!! Yeah baby!
I've been looking at shoes today and after going to Fashion Bug (yep, still hate that place), a shoe store here in town, and Kohls and finding only ONE pair of shoes that didn't involve laces and sporty socks I came home to my trusty computer and came upon the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. I love Nordstrom. It's expensive as hell, and snooty, and I pretty much hate all the salespeople I've ever dealt with there but, they carry my size!
Now, don't go thinking that I can get any shoe in my size. Oh, no! Some shoes are only made for petite little dainty feet. Apparently making the shoe in a size 11 is impossible. What with all the extra leather and stitches, surely the shoe would implode. That or the shoe designer just thinks us big beefy footed women couldn't possibly have a use for a cute little gladiator sandal, surely we only wear cowboy boots with our coveralls out in the barn.
Gah! Can't a big footed woman get some shoe love?
Anyway. I kind of like these boots. However I'm not sure if they're cute or if I just like them because it says in the reviews on Zappos that they run big and you should size down. You know that means I'd order a size 10 right? It's kind of like finding a pair of jeans in a size 4 or something that fit you when you normally wear an 8 and you want to but them just to say they're a size 4. What, That's never happened to you? Shut up.
Ok, opinions please. I'd get them in Moss. I think I'd wear them with jeans and sweaters mostly, maybe folded up with knee highs and a jean skirt. Did I mention they'll be a size 10, not an 11.
FIRST- I'm with you, girl. Size 11. Tall, freakishly long arms and legs. I am a HUGE fan of ordering from Old Navy.com because I can order talls in everything, including shirts and lounge pants (very important when one is shopping the clearance for post-baby housebound attire).
ReplyDeleteSECOND- I happen to won a pair of Uggs, and they are the slip on cloggy ones that look like slippers. They were bought for me because I FREEZE each winter, my hands and feet get so cold that my nailbeds turn black. So I can say with much certainty that you can wear a size 11 and order a 10 in Uggs.
But me? I could not get those boots. I would love a pair of Ugg boots, simply to keep my poor feet toasty, but I very rarely wear my slip-on Uggs out of the house because Uggs are not very flattering shoes on a girl like me....
You, however, might have the wardrobe to make them cute.
ok. i LOVE LOVE LOVE these! i want a pair now. you could totally pull them off. as for the size, i couldn't say since i've never owned a pair of Uggs.
ReplyDeleteIf anybody should have them it should be you Brittany. Don't they issue you some when you move to Alaska?
ReplyDeleteI like them all the way up but not down!!
