i’ll take the low road

by Karen Blanchard
1 September 2010

Dress: Topshop (remember it—-> here?)
Since I can neither find (nor currently afford) these Miu Miu’s from Spring 2010, these’ll do.
Hopefully F21 will re-stock (currently sold out).
Another fashion itch just got satisfyingly scratched.

    Swooooooooon. Karen this look is amazing! Perfectly styled. 🙂 Ahhh yes the quest for the amazingly beautiful Miu Miu’s.. I too, wish I could own the real deal. I love the ones your got from F21. They look great, but do they feel great? I guess for under 30bucks, you can’t really go wrong. If they ever restock the shoes online, I think I might want them.. I’m just scared that my toes will hate me forever.. ha ha.

    xx Love & Aloha

    When I first saw these on Forever 21’s website I thought they looked cheap, and now I’m kicking myself for not buying them! I just needed to see them styled with a cute dress… 🙁

    I love the feminine way you wore the dress in this post as well as the edgier way in the previous post. You made the dress look completely different! x

    I just bought these literally like 3 hours ago, but my mom wants me to return them cause they’re “too high”. Do you have any trouble walking in them?

  23. Jenny Cindy says:

    Lovely look. I got the same dress but haven’t worn it yet – I was actually thinking of selling it but you’re seriously making me reconsider. I looks soo good on you!

  24. Eden says:

    As I said love your dress!And with these shoes it looks even better;)))

  26. Malena says:

  28. Katherine says:

    I love threse shoes! What a shame that forever 21 doesn’t ship to Poland 🙁

  30. Phoebe says:

    I need that dress! I assume you got it from the US, I hope it’s available in the UK Topshops!

  32. Camilla says:

    I saw these in shop! They are gorgeous, I’m 14 though, so It would have been a waste for me to buy them, cause I wouldn’t get a chnace to wear them as much as they deserve. You look stunning, like a modern victorian doll.

    Sharonlei – a few pple who have these have said they are suprisingly comfortable and I have to say that even though I’ve not walked around a TON in them, they are! I was bracing myself for an ‘off’ cut and the foot to get jammed in but its like a normal shoe!!! Talk about icing on the cake.

    Anon – they’ve been fine to walk in. Everyone’s diff though and their tolerance level for heels.

    Daria – takes one to know one

    Brie – did you hold out ? ; )

    Coco Zaahb – now THAT”S a compliment!!!

    Dree – at least they deliver there though if you wanted to pay shipping : (

    Bee – aren’t they amazing??

  56. Joy Chou says:

    This little lace dress is perfect in every way!! I love it!

    Wow………..nice article. Lenhga choli is the Indian traditional dress. Recently choli patterns have changed a lot to keep up with the modern trends. Recently I purchased one lenhga choli from the site http://www.kaneesha.com. I am highly satisfied with the quality of it and I just loved the fine work done on it. On receiving great compliments I am sure to purchase more from this site. It’s worth visiting this site.

    I don’t know what I was thinking by not hurrying up and getting those shoes!!! Maybe next time I’ll be quicker, lol!

  61. caylee says:

    styled to perfection!
    i wish i would’ve bought the black version. i can see the endless possibilities now.

  62. Amalina says:

    I think I’ve seen this dress a couple of times, yet each time I see it, it seems like I’m seeing something new because you wear it several different ways! Amazing how you’re able to do that. And yes, I think you’re not alone on wanting the Miu Mius. Crossing my fingers they’ll re-stock these at F21. xo

  63. Karen says:

    Amalina – thx. Just different shoes/boots really : ) makes the world of diffference sometimes.

    Caylee – oh no!! yea the black plain ones are sick and (of course) I have those. They are my faves: black and the floral.

    Jazz – keep checking. F21 has restocked before on these so lets see.

    Fashion Chalet – thx E : )

  64. Catherine says:

    You look absolutely beautiful Karen; hair, face, outfit everything.

    I have a real deal Miu Mius, in black satin, and just love to cuddle them to sleep. :-/

  65. inger helén says:

    oh my. so beautiful

  68. Chesca says:

    You look SIMPLY DARLING in this outfit!

    I got those shoes the other week too! Still waiting for them to arrive in the mail. I already have the black… I walked uphill in them and my feet cried. Comfortable at first, not at all much later.

    But who cares! Sometimes pain is beauty, fashion before comfort. Hehehe…

  69. Huda says:

    Love the whole look.

    you look so amazing in this dress! So cute so pure! Very beautiful!
