New name, same girls!

Let me reintroduce, the VS Social Thread!

unsure about the lace pumps... what to do. they're comfy but a little large and i know my toe will hurt within an hour of wearing them. they're only $30 and i love how they look... i probably need 1/2 size smaller to keep them on my feet but i'll probably just put more heel grips in them.. the smaller shoe would probably aggravate my toe even more. (yes, my feet have issues Annoyed)

i'm printing out return labels for stuff but am conflicted about the lace pumps. what to do...? i had already decided to return them, but then i kept the glitter pumps and they ended up not being extremely comfy either (sort of narrow so my feet were sore and i didn't even do much walking!). help!

I would keep them at that price. They're really pretty. Even if they're not comfy,you may can wear them when you're not gonna be walking and standing that much!

You seem like you have alot of nice shoes to wear... From my experience, before my shoe size changed... the very gorgeous MUST HAVE shoes that I had, I never wore... even when I asked myself, 'Do I really need these' and I answered YES OF COURSE!, I never wore them... I ended up selling them on ebay for less than what I paid, but at least they went to a different home.. I am ashamed to say they took up ALOT of room in my closet and shoe racks. Of all my shoes, I had over 15 that were brand new (except worn around house for a minute or two to admire them) and over 10 that were uncomfy and wore once or twice, also sold those as EUC.. that's all I did, for the ones that hurt while walking, I'd put them on and admire how beautiful they were and then put them away... I was a litttttttle more practical when I restocked my shoes wardrobe (I'm not going to lie, I bought 2-3 uncomfy but super sexy heels Wink), I love amazon.com free returns, I've sent quite a bit of shoes back, but I've found some excellent pairs, very comfy..

I wouldn't wear them to a party if you think they may hurt. They would be nice to have for going out to dinner or something like that.

The dress is hot! Love it! I have it too Whee!

i take that as a no? laugh out loud i don't have a lot of nice shoes... i recently got rid of all my older heels that i know i won't wear anymore. i've been buying mostly comfort shoes except for that other vc pair since i've been searching for vc shoes for awhile now. the lace brings so much to an otherwise boring outfit! but i get where you're coming from... they will likely end up being one of those pairs i donate in a few years.

the note is like a mini tablet... You probably won't be able to hold it in 1 hand well. Hehe. If you go android, you'll get bigger screens... I actually like the iphone for its size bc I have a hard time holding my phone in 1 hand and typing. The galaxy s4 that Wolfe has probably is good enough tho. I kinda suggested the note in jest bc it's so damn big. My friend has it and someone mistook it for an iPad mini. :teeh ee: however if you're interested in the giant screen it is available on Verizon.
It sounds like the Galaxy wouldn't fit in a wristlet. That's my usual purse. Blush If I needed to use the internet on my phone often, I'd definitely look for one. To me, it's not worth the hassle to just browse on my Iphone. I look stuff up & check email when we're away, but that's about it. It does come in handy, when you need a last minute hotel or restaurant reservation. We've sat in hotel parking lots & booked a room for much less than they offered DH, when he went inside to ask about getting a room. It's funny to go back to the desk a few minutes later & have a reservation.

Keep them! You're lucky you can get a size to fit you. My DH loved those shoes, when I clicked on them. Alas, they don't have my size. Sadwalk Have you tried moleskin yet? If not, get some. That should fix your toe problem. Wow, I'm bossy today. Stick Out Tongue

laugh out loud you ARE bossy today! very unlike you! Teehee

i do love them. the moleskin probably wouldn't help with my toe problem, but i do need to get some for my other shoes that have rubbing problems. (what happens with my middle toe is it ends up stubbing into the front of any shoe that has a pointy or almond toe and it's sore by the end of the night. the toenail ends up hurting, but i don't think i've gotten a black nail or anything like that yet. my feet are shaped funny - i think my 2nd toe is shorter than it's supposed to be.) the shoes are so sexy i wish my DH cared more about my shoes. laugh out loud but he just wants me to be comfortable. heart

for phones - it depends on the wristlet. galaxy phones are notorious for getting bigger each generation (it's kinda silly imo) but if you do decide to go to android, you'll find phones of all sizes and you can choose a screen size that you like. my phone fits in my wallet from limited that has a cell phone pocket, but it's a snug fit. i do end up going online a lot on my phone tho... it's awesome to be so connected because i can comparison shop when i'm out shopping, etc. but it sounds like you're fine with having the iphone - its size is really great.

Whee it's coming up next month... that sounds like a plan. i'm going to go find heel grips for these then! i'm running low.

funny - i just checked the shoes again and they're 2 different sizes!!! laugh out loud i guess i will have to return them, but i may have to reorder them! i didn't really notice because the left foot is an 8 and my left foot is bigger... i should have realized something was up when they felt about the same on both feet even though shoes are usually more snug on the left.

I need some of those! Wonder if they come in my size or kids sizes. I have a pair of blustery flats in my car for just in case backups right now. Sometimes in Chicago if we're walking I'll wear flats and change into heels at the restaurant. I got that idea from seeing some old lady do it Facepalm LMAO.
