Got the Blues

I first saw these pretty Seychelles Ampersand shoes in royal blue (above) on Keiko Lynn (I love the outfit in her post here, although I did see her wear them previously).  I gravitate towards anything blue, but I adored the chunky heel and the bow gave them just enough sweetness without going overboard.  As you can imagine, they were sold out in my size on pretty much every site I tried to find them on.  I then found an equally pretty, but darker pair by Bamboo on ModCloth last week called the High Resolution Heel in cobalt (below).  I saw that they only had five left, but sadly discovered that none were in my size (you are in luck if you’re a size 5.5 or 6).  Because the Bamboo version was just so sparkly and gorgeous, and most of the reviews gave them five stars for the fit and just the sheer attractiveness of the shoe, it sent me into a search tizzy trying to find that pair, or something similar.

Just my luck, I found something that was a bit of a combination of the two.  It still had the chunky heel and bow, but in the darker blue and in suede instead of the glitter mesh.  I was able to find this lovely pair on DSW by Betsey Johnson and it’s called the Maye Pump (below).  Isn’t it amazing what you can find once you set your mind to it?
