Stylish with Substance

Glass would kill a girl's feet faster than any stiletto, and would break so easily, thus breaking our hearts and skin. "Clear heels" are just for strippers and are plastic (and smelly). So where is that perfect Cinderella shoe?

Genius Stuart Weitzman designed a pump with sheer lacy fabric, in a grey, keeping that peek-through look while perhaps even adding comfort beyond the usual 2.5" tall heel.

There are sadly no reviews on Zappos yet, but customers did report this shoe as narrower than marked (which is medium width). Perhaps it's a little for the petite feeted, and while mine are not, I so am choosing this to be my eventual bridal shoe. I may have to hunt on eBay by then even if it pushes a longer engagement, but at least that might help the price.

In this recession, or even with my moderate-compensating-in-good-times career, I'd never mind a less expensive gown, in fact, I'd rather choose Etsy (helps my ultra-petite problem anyway). So yes, even though I dislike uncomfortable shoes, heels, even wearing darling Manolos (and even a past pair of Weitzman's) I still think I'd go for the dream shoe at the dreamiest of balls. Silly me? Well ... yes. This blog's existence is proof, my dears!

But you? This is a perfect New Year's Glitz shoe, and even now on sale at 33% off! I'd grab it now if I could! (No, seriously, I would! No affiliation prompting me.)
