retro heels of the day

A nice uptick in 1910s-1930s-nostalgic shoe styles and silhouettes this season. This is definitely my favorite high heel silhouette, one of the most comfortable and elegant in my view. Here, a bunch that look like they're about to head straight into a ballroom dancing class.

The Baby Basic (either way) is My Kind Of Shoe. And all of these manage to be lovely without being ankle-breakingly high, which I appreciate. They look like shoes to dance in.

Totally. I have a pair of like 40s style heels which are also charmingly retro but, unfortunately, get wearying just to walk in, let alone dance. On the other hand, I have a pair in this silhouette which are almost fun to wear for the first hour or so.

Would you have some advice on shoe shopping? My teengirl wants those converse ombre dip-dye shoes they were selling last year, and I cannot for the life of me find any actually for sale on the internet. Tried ebay and amazon and zappos, am baffled and would appreciate your advice.

Sadly I've never had much luck finding previous season hot styles. Your best bet would no doubt be to haunt ebay compulsively, but maybe she'd go for some from Etsy, where people sometimes tie-dye their own.
