It's a Wedge Obsession

Lately I've been obsessing over wedges. They're just so cute, and easier to walk in than stiletto heels. Perfect for the summer!

Over the weekend, Aldo had a promo for an extra 15% off of their sale shoes. It's hard not to check out sales on websites when it's so easy to do so with the click of the button! Plus, for those of you who haven't shopped with Aldo, they have what a call a "forever return policy". (who cares if that doesn't sound correct...it's the terms of the policy that matters!) Basically, you can return the product whenever you want! Even if it's a year later (which I have done lol) as long as you've got the receipt, the box, and the unworn, new condition pair of shoes. How awesome is that? You can return your online purchases to the physical store too. Personally, I don't buy online from stores if I'm unable to return the product back to the brick-and-mortar store. Who wants to be forking out postage money to return goods anyway... and we all know Canada Post ain't cheap!

Anyway, these were the styles I chose that qualified for the extra discount:

Toomer in black

Toomer in brown

Dalvida in beige

Dalvida in light green



Yes.. they're the same shoes, different colors. WHO CARES!!! I wanted to snag them up for cheap before the sizes went out. If you're able to return it, I like to exercise the "buy now and think later" rule. Snag it up for cheap while you still can! These all retail $70, and I picked them up for $34 + tax. Not bad right? My Toomers arrived on Tuesday, which was super quick since I placed the order later afternoon on Saturday. I'm in love with them! They're a 5 inch heel with 2 inch platform. The straps make it feel super secure on your feet, they're light, and super easy to talk in. Argh! I can't decide which color to keep. My light green Dalvida arrived this evening. I was just curious with the color. It wasn't a nice, pastel mint green. It was kind of a murky green. So I returned it 2 hours ago haha. I think the beige ones will be more promising =)

Black of brown? or both?


I placed an order on amiclubwear.com since they had a 45% off everything promotion. And yes, I bought another pair of wedges....

 
These ones were $16.50 after the discount. I just love the cute, blush pink color! I don't own a pair of espadrilles.. If this pair is crappy I shall comment haha *crosses fingers*

Hopefully this marks the end of my wedge shopping.. My credit card needs a break T_T

************************************************************
Update: The beige Dalvidas arrived today, and they will be going straight back to the the store. The little tie strap that's supposed to secure the end of the strap around your ankle was broken for one of the shoes! I found it in the box, and I could probably sew it back on.. but since it broke off, that just means that it's not made very well. In fact, the green one had a similar problem, except that the broken piece wasn't even in the box. How disappointing! The wedges are cute, and pretty comfortable, but when I walk in them, it feels as if something might break if I'm not too careful... That just won't do! So I wouldn't really recommend these shoes. Save your money!
