I'm Kaylah. thrifting queen. 
When I was in third grade I wanted to be a Spice Girl, they always had the best shoes. I had so many ridiculous pairs of platform shoes, and they could never be high enough for me. Eventually I stopped wearing them, more recently (the last five years) I don't wear shoes that give me any amount of height because Kevin isn't very tall, and I don't really like to be taller than him.
But on a recent shopping trip I tried on a pair of wedges just to be silly and both Kevin and I agreed they were pretty fabulous (errr, he said they were "cute", I though they were fabulous) and that the height difference really wasn't as bad as we thought it would be! Sadly they didn't have my size so I passed them up but now I'm on the hunt. I can't even begin to count the number of awesome shoes I've decided against over the years because they had any amount of heel.
Here are some I've been ogling over the last few days! I sure do love ridiculous shoes! ;)
1 // The Color Wheel Deal Wedge.
2 // Go for Brogue Platform.
3 // Case Closed.
4 // The Vertigo Shoe in Coral.
5 // The Tardy Shoe in Yellow and Green.
6 // Dawn and Dirty.

The last two are my favourites. I messed my ankles up by wearing super-flat shoes for too long, so now I'm pretty much stuck wearing one inch heels all the time - if you need an added excuse to buy some wedges, feel free to repeat what I just said!
ReplyDeleteThis post screams at me! When I was in grade school, I so badly wanted to be a Spice Girl, too. I had tons of platforms and shoes, hahah. I think my parents thought I was crazy. I've always loved shoes, and Geoff hates them because he is also not very tall! I've been able to get away with most of my shoes so far, though. My highest pair makes me (at best) the same height or an inch taller. I love #2 and #4!
ReplyDeleteI love wedges! They are so comfortable and give me the height I need. Hubby is 6'2" and I'm 5'2"!
ReplyDeleteI love these wedges for Fall...

I love wedges! I cannot get comfortable in heels no matter how hard I try, but wedges feel great. I love #4 the most.

the first pair is my favorite! #4 is a close second...they are very baby spice-esqe :)
ReplyDeletei totally wanted to be a spice girl as well. my friend and i used to record ourselves singing to the spice girls and i even did a dance routine to 'if you wanna be my lover' when i was in the 6th grade. the spice girls movie is fabulous! spice girls 4 life
Definitely support the wedge comeback! I can't wear regular heel very much. My feet suffer too much. Wedges are a great alternative. I love feeling tall and sexy!

uhm, i want all those shoes!
ReplyDeletei remember having platforms when i was a kid--and yes, because of the spice girls!
i only have one pair of wedges now, and only very low heels in general because my boyfriend is not too much taller than i am... pretty sure when i wear my wedges i'm taller than he is!
Looks all great...i want all of them!!!Nice choises.

Number 4 is like... Perfection! I love 'em all. I adore platform shoes - ADORE!!! They do make me a wee bit taller than Jen (I'm 5'4" and she is 5'7" but neither of us mind! :P)
ReplyDeleteI wanted to be a Spice Girl too!! [still kinda do, haha] I used to watch their movie all the time, wishing I had their clothes..and that freaking awesome tour bus. :]
ReplyDeleteI didn't used to wear wedges/heels EVER, but I've recently become obsessed. All of these wedges are gorgeous, especially #3!
I never wear wedges either because I'm quite tall already and I don't think I'd be able to walk in them. I did have the childhood dream of becoming a Spice Girl though.
ReplyDeleteThese wedges are so lovely. The brown ones are more my style but I am drawn to the pink ones.

#4 and #3 are awesome. I love wedges because I'm a short girl, so I pretty much come up to eye level with everyone else when I wear them. Except I'm really clumsy, so I'm not very good at walking in them!
ReplyDelete<3 Linda
I like those Case Closed wedges especially!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely #3,#2 & #5 are my favorites. Doubt I could walk in them though, haha. I remember when I was a kid I tried on my dad's platform shoes (similar to #2,but in black) that he wore back in 1978 to my parent's wedding. Good times.
ReplyDeletei also dont like being taller than my man, but yeah wedges and heels are so awesome i've gotten over it. theyre so much fun and so totally awesome.
ReplyDeleteOh man, those #3 wedges are too good.
ReplyDeleteNumber 3 are beyond cute! I wish I had an infinite amount of money so I could bye every cute thing I see, hehe!

Woah, I love the "go for brogue" platforms! I used to have a pair similar to those when I was in middle school, and got kicked out of gym class for wearing them...ha ha!
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness these are ADORABLE. i'm seriously lusting after wedges for fall footwear. i want them all! there are only a few more months before snow comes and ridiculous shoes become too ridiculous to even wear. stock up now :)

yeah I think #3 are for sure my fave, but I have never been a wedge person. Or anything other than a flipflop person for that matter. :-/ I need to branch out...
ReplyDeletehaha I had platforms when I was in elementary school for the exact same reason :D I was always kind of bummed that they didn't make 10" ones for nine years olds though..
ReplyDeleteAnd honestly I'm still on the hunt for the perfect pair of Union Jack boot platforms.
4 4 4 4 4 4 4!! holy cute!
ReplyDeleteThe pink ones are my fave ^_^
ReplyDeletewedges are the best. cute and i can actually walk in them
