Aerosoles Dollyannas question.

carmenb513 · Coach

I REALLY love the sky ones- so I would definetly go with those.

BUT if you are really an 8 and neither of those 2 are an 8 I say, get them online, or another place because you don't want to get something ill- fitting just because it's a bargain.That's just IMO.

luckylily · Gucci

I'm so jealous that you found Dollyannas!

Can you get more than 1? If so, I would get the Dollyannas that fit best and the Menitees when they go on sale.

JoceyBaby23 · Gucci

Well I dont think shoes that are NOT your size are going to do you any good at all.

I actually like the basic black the best anyway. I would get those.

jaymiek · Coach

I think you should hold out for the pair in your size, because squeezing in shoes that are a half size too small aren't worth it to me. If the black Dollyannas you have on hold are an 8.5 and are only a half size bigger, I'd get those. I have a pair of metallic Dollyannas in an 8, and I have another pair of Dollyannas in a 7.5 and there is not much difference in the half size between those, at least for me.

They have these Holly Pitchers at zappos for $43, only in an 8.5 though if you like the buttercup color. Only one left by the way!

bumblebee/lilykind, what's top shoes?!?! i was going to buy the new version in black soon but i'd much rather get them for $30, especially since the old and new style in black looks the same!

btw, i have the holly pitchers in the green/yellow color that needsfashionadvice posted above (they're from last year), and just an fyi, they got very dirty very fast and the yellow sole turned a really ugly color so i stopped wearing them.

eta - i forgot to say what i'd get! i'd go with the black pair from the local place you found and wait to order the pink ones.

If you go to shoebuy.com and you're going to pay with a visa card (it might work even paying some different way, I didn't try it though), enter VISAWIN06 in the promotional code box and get $15 off orders over $50. Plus if you register before you check out, you get 10% off your first purchase which leaves the shoes being only $35! They have the tan/pink ones, black, gold, and the brown multi ones.

ETA: I just tried the code with a mastercard (my debit card) and it worked so I guess you don't have to use a visa. I just ordered the tan multi ones, I couldn't resist!

Thanks! I think I am going to order these and send the ones I got from Nordstrom back!

No Problem!

The only color they had in an 8 was icky white, but I really didn't see a difference in the 7.5 and the 8 sizewise. Looking back, though, the 8.5 is entirely too big for me.

And yes, bumblebee, it is Top Shoes. I was all set to leave the store empty handed and then all of a sudden I saw the Dollyannas in all the colors.

LA Gal, Top Shoes is located on Westwood Blvd. between Weyburn and Le Conte right on the south edge of UCLA.

I'm going to get them in the sky and maybe get the tan/pink/white with the code from needsfashionadvice later in the season.

halleybird · Hermes

I love the sky! Personally, I like the heel on the old Dollys a little more than the one on this year's version...

Thanks for the code! I just ordered the same pair.

They only have a 6.5 and an 8.5 left in the store in black IIRC. Otherwise, I'd get the Metinees with the new code needsfashionadvice posted.

Thanks girls for all of your help! I have the sky Dollyannas in my possession now. I'll see if I still need another pair as the season wears on.

I was thinking the same thing, I'll wait until I get mine and wear them around a while and then order another pair if I like them. I'm thinking of the gold or the black.

atlgirl · Gucci

Hm. I have a pair of black dollyannas, and love them. I just tried to order the metinees with the code posted, and I get this when I try to check out:

It appears you are trying to access a shopping cart or checkout for an incomplete order that is no longer available in our system. Please choose a link below and make your selections again.

Anyone else have this problem?? It shows the size available (size 10) in my color choice, (tan multi), so I don't know why I can't check out.

NCshopper · Hermes

Is there an 800 number you could call? If so, they should take the coupon code over the phone.

Maybe 10 just shows as being available but really isn't? I'd call customer service for sure, I called them last week and they were very helpful.

atlgirl · Gucci

Thanks ladies - I tried again this morning and everything went through. Maybe it was just my computer acting up. Hopefully the right color (and size) will be in the box when they arrive!
