OOTD 4.30.10: Peacock Blue + Shine {and a cupcake}


My new TBs arrived from Saks on Thursday, so of course I wore a pair Friday.




J Crew cardi, J Crew Carmen tank, ON denim, TB Millers in super shiny sliver




And I have to mention that I finally hit Trophy Cupcakes on the right day and got to try the Peanut Butter and Jelly!

Excellent!


Happy Weekend!

ps - I know many people ask about Tory Burch sizing. I see a lot of recommendations to size up (Saks said to size up 1/2 size on the silver ones I just ordered, but I didn't. Nordstrom gives the advice that they will stretch, and doesn't say to size up.), but have also heard of them stretching out too much. On Revas (regular leather and suede), I go with my "true size" - what I generally wear in everything else. (I don't own any in patent but I've heard to size up 1/2 size in those.) Initially they feel a little tight, and the scrunching at the heel can dig a little, but with time they stretch to perfection and feel like the most comfortable little slippers on my feet. A Chanel saleslady told me once that you should buy Chanel ballet flats to just fit your feet and that they will be uncomfortable for a little while - but then stretch to the perfect fit. I've found this to be the case with Revas - as long as the length is okay and your toe is not jammed up to the front of course. On the Millers, Saks recommended to order your true size, but from my experience (and a review I read) they run a tad short... the sole/footbed is definitely shorter than other similar style sandals I own... so I went 1/2 size up on my new silver ones and find they fit perfectly for me - I don't like to have my toes right on the edge.)

  1. Oh, Love this look! Thanks for the info on the sizing. Not that I can afford to buy any TB's right now! But I did always wonder!

  2. Natalie - thank you! If you do decide to get some TBs, make sure you look for some deals. I have never paid full price for a pair of Tory Burch shoes. I've gotten 40% off at Nordstrom, sale/promo from the TB website, and even a pair of Kelseys around 75% off at Nordstrom Rack. Now, Revas are difficult to score for less than retail, but I got my classic black ones during a shopbop sitewide %-off promo, and silver ones along with these Millers during Saks' Friends & Family.
