Found The Perfect Bronze Heels

With two weddings to attend in the 1st quarter of this year alone, I began my search for a pair of heels that I can use to these events. It took a while to figure out what color I needed because I didn't want to be impulsive by buying more than one pair. Luckily, the dresses I'm going to be wearing are not too complicated in terms of color. So I narrowed down my search and decided I would go for bronze.

Went from store to store only to be disappointed. Too high, too low, not bronze-y enough, more gold than bronze. I was beginning to feel serious frustration. Why is it so easy to spot a nice pair when you're not in urgent need of one?

Then one afternoon, Neal and I were in Megamall to buy something and I decided to browse around SM's shoe department. Still nothing. I saw this particular pair in the Charles and Keith section but they didn't have it in my size. The SA advised me that C&K has a free-standing store within the mall and that I might want to try my luck there. We don't go to Megamall often so I took advantage and asked Neal if I could go.

I have to thank that SA for making that suggestion because there I found the perfect shade of bronze and the style I really, really liked. But my misfortune didn't end there. They had all sizes EXCEPT MINE. I asked them to call the Rockwell branch to find out --- no dice. Greenbelt? Still none. There was only one last branch they could try that carries their Signature Line and it was Mall of Asia --- daaaaarn! But guess what? MOA had it! So with just a little hesitation (because MOA is a place I've tried to avoid going to time and time again), I told the Megamall SA to please reserve the pair for me.

The next day, I found myself walking inside this humongous mall looking for the store. After a few minutes, I had my shoes.

I sat in Starbucks after purchasing them, tired from all that walking but happy that my search had finally ended with these pretty babies. I used them for the first time yesterday and they didn't fail me. Did I mention that Charles and Keith heels are comfortable? I have cursed my way through formal events while wearing Nine West heels but I've never had the same experience with my C&K's. These were totally worth the wait and the price!
