Day 1212 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Green fluffy, furry courts | Dolce & Gabbana 

I buckled and bought these crazy shoes!  I mentioned them when I bought my leopard print fluffy courts, but honestly I've tried to resist these for over a year now.  Originally from AW18, they kept showing up on TK Maxx and I repeatedly had to talk myself out of buying them.  When they appeared a month or so ago, again, I kept an eye on them and decided when my size went down to low stock I'd buy them...of course, they sold out didn't they? I was really disappointed, then randomly checked one day to find there was one pair, in my size!  What will be, will be, so they say.  
They are hella fluffy, a much longer pile than my leopard ones and they definitely add inches to your foot, so keep that in mind,  When I hold another pair of (regular) Dolce & Gabbana up against them, it looks like a baby sized shoe in comparison.  Like my leopard pair, they are low cut, so there's a considerable amount of toe cleavage and once more, I opted for the half size up (5.5/38.5) because D&G usually run small and narrow for me.  The visible toes are probably more obvious because of that size up.  When I'm wearing tights or socks like I am here, it's hard to see.  On the catwalk, this is how they were worn, with fishnet socks, so I decided to replicate that.  

The shape is the same as my last pair, with a skinny stiletto heel under all that fur and a pointed toe court base.  I've included photos of both at the bottom of the post, because it's really hard to see beyond the thick fur.  I shook mine up a bit, so they were shaggier looking, but you can smooth them down to give more shape if you prefer.  They are definitely fair-weather shoes, the fur does overlap at the sole and heel, so you'd have to be super careful in dirty or wet conditions.  Size-wise, they are true to size for me in this slightly larger size.  There's no slipping off at the heel, but they definitely don't feel tight either.  I likely could've gotten away with the size 5/38, but because of the narrow toe, they are probably comfier in this size.  Without a doubt one of the crazier pairs in my collection!

Wearing: Bow fishnet ankle socks, can't recall where from. 
Fit:  4 1/2" heel, no platform.  Slip on.  True to size, though a narrow shaped toe so I bought a half size up and there's no heel slippage.   
Comfort:  A little wobbly with the thin heel, think I'm so unaccustomed to wearing shoes now after all this time!
