I'm in a bit of a cart-before-the-horse situation. I wrote a few weeks ago about a vintage kimono I'd just bought with the intention of wearing around the house as a robe. The only issue is that it's quite long, long enough that it drags on the floor a bit if I'm barefoot or wearing super-flat shoes. The pattern is along the hem so there's absolutely no shortening it.
Consequently, I'm on the hunt for 1950's Spring-o-Later style heeled mules but am having a very difficult time finding anything that will work because (a) the vintage ones that I find on Etsy and fall in love with are never, ever, ever a size 10 (or if they are, they're woefully overpriced) and (b) all of the other ones I've found online seem to have been designed for pole dancing instead of puttering around the house. Xtabay had a lovely collection of these shoes last spring (some pictured here) but again, they were all far smaller sizes than I could wear.
The Loved One collaborated with Jacques Levine a little while back and their designs are pretty much exactly what I'm hunting for (well, maybe minus the leather rosette) but they don't seem to actually be available anywhere? Or perhaps I'm just not looking in the right places...?
For now, I suppose, the search continues...
