So at the bottom of her post, she wisely referred us all to Jemma Ruby's blog, Diary of a Wonder Woman, where she had the Open Toed Shoe Pledge. You must must must read this. It is hilarious! As a hopefully potential member of the Cute Girl Sisterhood, I am taking the pledge, and I urge you to do the same. Let's make the world a more beautiful place, one foot at a time!
After you read and take the pledge, hop on back here because I need some opinions, and I *know* you all have them.... (there's a very funny joke about opinions and everyone having them but don't know if it's appropriate to share) Anyway...I got these shoes at Target - the Xhilaration Samala Flat in pewter patent ($19.99), after seeing them in black on a Bobbi Brown SA, who raved about their comfort. They are comfy. But after getting them home, I'm a little unsure about whether I should keep them. Are they that great? Or just cheap & crappy? Was I seduced by the fact that they match the OPI You Don't Know Jacques polish on my toes? What do you think, Keep or Return? (that should actually be a new feature...the Keep or Return Files)

In the Pic. you posted they look super~cute...but don't know how they look in person. They, a little bit, remind me of my J.Crew Phoebe shoes only your Target shoes are not quite as slender in the toe area.
Heidi! LOVE. I must stop being tempted by cute Target shoes...I own enough of them. DARLING.
:) Keep them...
I found Jemma Ruby's post through Sea Glasses also this morning! I wholeheartedly agree!! The flats are cutey-cute. Pewter is such a great neutral!
I immediately thought those were very cute. Me likey.
I agree w/gigi-i immediately thought they were adorable and really comfy looking. Keep!
(one of my fave radio shows has a segment called, "keep 'em or dump 'em...they are referring to men, I think, but I often think about that phrase when deciding whether or not to keep a particular item of clothing!) :)
lol i read that pledge and totally agree! i must abide by all of those rules before i start sporting my toes!
i love those shoes btw soo super cute!
From the pic I likey but I'm not sure how they look IRL. For $14 you can't go worng. Even if you only wear them a couple times if will be worth it.
Heidi - The shoes are cute, I have the same pair :)
They are very comfy too, keep them!
Thank you so much for linking to me! I really appreciate it!! You made my day! :D I didn't know you were a twin too. It's such an amazing sibling bond that it makes the craziness worthwhile (most of the time!). Do you have a twin brother or sister?
I love the flats! I have pewter flats from Old Navy and pewter loafers and I wear them all the time. They look a lot like J. crew and they will go with everything!
Thanks for sharing your height and sizes, too. I'm 5'9 so I'm going to keep close tabs on your finds and outfits!!
ok, so you and sea glasses are fellow tall gals, so I am really glad I found you I am glad evryone is enjoying the pledge- thanks for linking to me!
Keep those shoes, they look comfy, hide most feet flaws from the pedi pledge and and are a much more interesting color that still go with everything compared to the usual basic black shoes!
