Thinking About It: Prada's Birdcage Slingback Sandals


STATS
Name: Birdcage Slingback Sandals aka Calzature Donna
Designer: Prada
Color: Cipria
Size: 39
Price: $620

If they didn't cost $620 I would be prancing around in these Prada sandals right now.

Why I like them? First off, 3-inch heel means I can walk around in these things. Second, they are just very elegant looking although they do hover near the line of matronly. Third, if I don't wear them down completely in one season, I think the style will stand the test of time.

Fourth and most importantly, they come in this beautiful baby pink color which is ONLY SOLD at Barneys New York in store at Beverly Hills. (I grabbed this screenshot from Bergdorf.) I would only want the baby pink color rather than black.

Indeed I have tried these on in the pink color and they are just perfect. So I'm thinking about it. But I know how this will turn-out. I'll buy a similar design from Target or Payless.
