Ciao Bella

I didn't realize it at the time, but these are the last photographs to be taken of these brown wedges. They are now broken beyond repair.

They were purchased for $30 at TJMaxx in May of 2010, and I think it's safe to say that I got my money's worth. They were kind of a perfect brown sandal, comfortable enough to walk in while still giving me height... I'm sad to see them go. We had some good times.

  1. I hate it when you have to finally give up on a well-loved pair of shoes. But the up side is shoe shopping!

  3. It is always such a bummer when a beloved pair of shoes is done for! But it's also a good excuse to buy a new pair :) I love this nautical summery look!

  5. Sorry to hear about your sandals! Now is the time to find a great pair on sale since all the Fall inventory is now on shelves. You look casually chic! :)

  6. I have had two of my brown sandals repaired at the cobblers due to wearing them too much. Those brown sandals go with everything. That is why I don't feel bad owning more than 2 or 3

  9. They are really cute and I do think you got your money worth. Too bad they are broken. There is no way to repair them? Maybe a DIY project?
    That outfit is very nice !

  12. Even though you've gotten wear out of them, I know (and hate!) the feeling of having to part with an item you love so much! Here's to hoping you find an equally fabulous replacement.

  13. Wow, those sandals lasted 3 years! That's definitely getting your money's worth!

    And you look so great in fedoras. And I love the tassel on the purse!

  21. Aawwwww, RIP cute brown wedges! At least brown wedges are a fairly common-ish item, but still, those are cute and some things just can't be replaced. A moment of silent for Lyddie's wedges...

    ...

    ....Aw.

    On the upside, their last moment was well lived with your cute outfits. Red and white stripes, yes!

  24. Isn't it funny how letting go of a good pair of shoes can be so hard? These were great!

  25. Ugh, I hate giving up a pair of shoes I loved so much! I feel like a replacement is never going to be as satisfying.

  30. Oh no, losing shoes is always so sad. I always find it so difficult to find a good replacement. Replacing anything is always a nightmare for me because I always just want the original back!
