Nude Ferragamo´s
In a weak moment I ended up placing a search on eBay for “nude heels”. There wasn´t much out there yet, but I came across these nude Salvatore Ferragamo pumps. The heel hight is all wrong, and the gold bow kind of ruins the look I´m after which is something more in line of the YSL heels pictured here, but there was something about them that appealed to me anyway. At $10 I didn´t even think about it twice before I had put in a bid, but I figured that someone would outbid me pretty fast. No one did. So in a very short amount of time I have bought my two first pairs of Ferragamo shoes, which is apparently the only brand of shoes Marilyn Monroe wore. I hope the quality is as good as I expect it to be.

At first when I saw the gold ribbon, I agreed with u, it ruined it!But now, I think it’s kinda unique and very vintage. Tell me if it’s comfy ok? ;)

I will! I´m glad you like them. I think they´ll work out fine, just not for what I had originally planned.

I find Ferragamo’s all the time in thrift stores here, but very rarely do they have any heel. I have a pair of loafers and ballet flats that I love. I haven’t really worn the loafers much, but the ballet flats have been through quite a lot and hold up just fine.

Thanks Sandra!
Erin, I don´t think they´re as common here cause I can´t remember seeing any of them at thrift stores.

I don´t know, I watched a documentary on shoes the other day, and that´s where they said so. Maybe she wore both?
