OK I have been set on buying grosgrain ribbon flip flops for my bridesmaids. I have 7 of them and I would like to spend under $20 for each pair. I was going to purchase Eliza B. flip flops for them, but our local boutique only had blue ones with red strawberries. They need to have pink and green in them and I would really prefer a tan bottom. Their dresses are either going to be pink or green silk shantung, this is for them to change into at the reception! I can't seem to find them anywhere, JCrew sold out of the seahorse ones, and everywhere else has black bottoms. Any ideas? Or any local stores that you know that has something similar? TIA!
I personally don't think the JCrew ones would look bad with either pink or green silk dresses...the bottoms are actually navy...yes it's a really dark navy, but I really like navy (better than black IMO) with both pink and green.
There is also a decent selection of Eliza B's on Ebay...most run $24.99...a little over your budget but if you are set on the tan sole it might be worth it to you. Maybe you could work a quantity discount with a seller?....
Not ribbon, but really cute and only $9.99 at Ann Taylor Loft
From Ebay... you can also get them monogrammed with an initial. The seller only listed 2 pairs but you should contact her if to see if she has more available.
Jmango-I agree about the AE one's not quite being it. I am leaning towards white for my dress, but those could still work! Thanks for looking!
Sweatergirl-I agree with the Jcrew being too dark, they had some with a woven bottom that was tan and light pink with green seahorses, would have been perfect! I will check out e-bay, I can go over the $20, just not the retail price of $48 for Eliza B. for 7 girls.
SFC- Those delias ones might be really cute! I like the pink ones! I also was thinking Reef might be really practical for the girls, they only will be wearing them at the reception. I have some white ones that I will be getting my new monogram on, I think I will have a white dress b/c ivory tends to drown me out. Oh and those ebay ones are cute, but the flops are from Payless last year, so I don't know if they would be able to get more, but I can try!
Thanks to all of you! I really appreciate it a lot!
Chic...I think they have a few of those woven JCrew ones on the web site....size 8 and 9 are showing...maybe you could call customer service to see if they could locate other sizes.
sweatergirl- I am all over that tommorrow. I also re-read your post and see that you were actually saying the navy would work, the guys are wearing navy blazers so I am going to hit a store up tommorrow. Thank you!
