Corso Como Fabulous Flats

Source: Piperlime

Platinum: $39.99 + 30% discount = ~$28.00
Silver: $49.99 + 30% discount = ~$35.00 (only size 10 available, and the brand may possibly run a half size large.  But I like the "platinum" color better anyway I think)

These totally remind me of my veryfirst pair of flats - a pair of gold Steve Maddens that I had to buy for my big 5wk Eurotrip, so there's totally a nostalgia love for these.  Plus, they are called Fabulous!  I kind of want to buy these solely to run around obnoxiously, asking people to guess what the name of my shoes are.  This probably means I should not buy them, as I do not need additional ways to be obnoxious.

T, 12/21/10:  like platinum better, too.  Man, great price, and again, comfy shoes . . . don't really see a reason not to get them.

Piperlime:
Black - $159.99 + 30% discount = ~$112.00 (size 10)
Brown - $149.99 + 30% discount = ~$105.00 (size 8...maybe a nogo, boo)

Ebay:
Listing 1: Black, size 10, $29.99 w/$10.00 shipping (1 bid, ends December 24th, 2010 at 1:00pm PST)
Listing 2: Black, size 8.5 or 10/Brown, size 8.5; all $96.98 w/free shipping (buyitnow only, several available each I believe)

Whew, that was a lot to keep straight, really more just for me to record and keep track of, not very interesting lol.  Anyway - brand good, color(s) good, boots good, reviews good, I guess I will have to figure out a way to try them on in person.

T, 12/21/10:  you are right, I would love these!  Re: trying them on in person -- I know you don't like returns, but I swear by them; it's so simple/easy, and refunds are issued in about a wk.  And no reason to feel bad about taking advantage of free shipping/returns, b/c as K-ex said, these companies make so much money off of the interest in that week they're "processing" our returns.  Hopefully you can find a pair of these that fit!  Great price, and the padding is sooo comfy.
