Balenciaga platform wedges, American Apparel Disco pants, Vintage top
The Balenciaga wedges… While it seems like some time after I posted, everyone and their grandma ended up with a pair (I see why!)… I ended up with 3. But who’s counting?
I bought my blue pair before any Balenciagas ended up at DSW in Union Square for $99 (Yes, DSW. I know, wtf). But of course when I found out they were there, I had 2 of my NY bests J. Chesky & G. Darling scoop up the tan & emerald pairs, respectively. Shockingly, all 3 pairs combined cost less than 1 pair at the original price, so while I know it’s still a bit excessive, you must understand how long I’d been after them & why I couldn’t pass them up!
If I’ve learned anything from shopping it’s this: If you love something totally out of your price range, let it go. If it comes back off-season & seriously on sale… you know it was meant to be. Buy 3.
Thank you again shoe gods, I guess that goat I sacrificed did work (totally kidding, PETA). I have successfully broken-in the triplettes and they are getting fantastic mileage.
And to those who asked: (1) They run true to size, maybe half-size small, but eventually stretch (2) I’m barely 5′, so I’m used to huge shoes on a daily basis. But yes, they are probably hard to walk in if you’re not used to a 5″ heel. The wedge helps though.
PS – like my snazzy GIF? Also, not that it matters, but curious: do you pronounce it “jiff” or “giff” with a hard g? Inquiring minds would love to know.
ETA: Hey guys, please don’t email my friends asking them to get shoes for you! 1) call DSW, but I think they’re sold out 2) Julia says, “I only shoe mule for Jazzi, sorry.” Seriously, I linked to them because I love them, not because they’re offering a service.

Well, I’m dying with jealousy right now. I love shoes and I love shopping for shoes, It’s one of my favorite thing in the world. No matter what I wear as long as my shoes look great, then my attire is complete.
I can’t agree more with Nancy – shoe shopping is my ultimate passion and something I always end up doing to cheer myself up! Here in the UK, geox shoes have just really started to come out popular. I enjoyed reading your blog Jazzimcg.
