Swap #7: Red Snakeskin BCBG Heels

IMG_8456
Cherry red, faux snakeskin, pair of BCBG heels up for swaps!
Practically like new-I only wore them 2 times.

Take it from me, they inject your style with a pin-up girl like style. HOT, and madly tall; they'll make you gorgeous and you'll hold your head just a tad higher.

They fit a tad too big on me, and sadly we have to part ways.
But that's yours fortune! So get in on this swap before its over.

IMG_8449
Size: 7-1/2
(I think they're more like a long 8, but very narrow-you must have a slim foot for these)
Length: 9-1/2"
Heel Height: 4"

Genuine Leather upper, man-made lining and sole

Condition: Good
Swap #7-BCBG Shoes, size 8

For these shoes, I'll swap with you for something from my WISHLIST

Don't have anything to swap?
Ok, no problem....just give me $12.00 + cost of shipping.

Swap #5: Metallic Silver Vintage Shoes

IMG_8428
Swap #5: VINTAGE SILVER METALLIC SHOES
Size 9

IMG_8435
I came across these shoes way back in high school--they were amongst some of my first vintage items I ever bought. Found them on the mezzanine of my very favorite antique store back home in Evansville, IN.

I wore them only once; they're very fragile and delicate...and sadly I realized I could not fool myself any longer. My feet are not a size 9; therefore these cuties are too big on me :(

IMG_8425
They're darling. From the silver lame fabric ("lame" as pronounced le-may. I just can't seem to figure out where the French accent mark is on my keyboard--it is not "lame" as in, "loserville"), to the rhinestone detail, to the fact that the brand is named, "Miss America"!

IMG_8434
As mentioned, they're size 9.
(Approx 10-1/2" length)
Heel height: 2"


IMG_8431
These shoes are at my guess 30-45+ years old.
(all you vintage experts out there, correct me if I'm wrong-or let me know exact era please)

And with age, there's slight aging...
-A faint brown-ish stain grazes the left shoe flat
-The flap of left shoe is coming detached (as seen below, easily fixable w/some stitching or glue)
-Shoes, especially left, is minimally stretched out as if a wide foot once wore these.
-Slight yellowing on the inside of shoe
-Overall, the right shoe is in good condition, left shoe is poor condition
(but with a little love, I'm certain they can be restored. With that said, they're both still very wearable)
