bex · Chanel

what shade of "natural" are you looking for?

i know i was searching for a pale pale shade of tan/champagne for a few years and finally found a pair of Stuart Weitzmans this past spring.

Me three! Steve Madden had some last year, I think, but they had a rounded toe, so I didn't get them. The ones you posted look beeeautiful, though - what's wrong with them? *Maybe* try less expensive shoe stores - I went on a search for super-basic tan thongs, and ended up finding them only at Payless. But it's a shame to get a cheap version of such a classic shoe, I know.

splash, those shoes are gold... or the search would be over.

i guess you can't really see in the picture, but they are metallic. sigh..

we must keep on lookin'

It just occured to me that ballroom dance shoes come in beautiful, extremely flattering styles, are comfortable, durable, and nude-colored or even dyable. The strappy ones (for latin dances) are the really gorgeous ones, and I'd recommend them of you want nude sandals. But the basic pumps (for standard dances) might be worth looking at for this. They aren't super-sexy shapes, so there might not be any actual stilettos, but it might be worth a try. You'd have to have new soles put on them, though, because they're suede and wouldn't last at all off a dance floor.
