My favorite pair of shoes to wear in general are wedges. Being 5’2 ¼ of an inch (Yes that ¼ of an inch is very important to me) during the summer it is too hot to wear heels in the city, but I am too short to not wear heels when I go out because who wants be the shortest of the bunch? Instead, I prefer to wear wedges for several reasons: #1 they are comfortable / very easy to walk in especially if they have a platform #2 they are great for summer and #3 they make me taller than some of my heels do! One of my best friend’s Mom has said the same thing to us since we were young. She said there are things in life and in fashion that you don’t spend your money on, but one of the things you should always spend money on is shoes. Why? you may ask, Because if you hurt your feet then you will have problems walking and we use our feet every single day, so we should treat them like gold. As I have said in the past on Just Jodi Style I love a good bargain. I found these amazing Christian Louboutin heels on GILT of all places. Usually on those flash sale sites, a lot of the shoes are sometimes slightly worn, final sale or even just styles that are too crazy for everyday wear. When I saw these on GILT I knew I had to have them. Shockingly, they weren’t even final sale so if I had to return them I could. With wedges I tend to go a size smaller in some brands depending on the shoe. With all of the Christian Louboutin shoes I have tried on, it varies from shoe to shoe. Some of their wedges I am a 6 and in some of them I am a 6 ½ and even some I fit into a 7 . It just depends on the style of the shoe and how it is made. If you are unsure of your size for the shoe, make sure it isn’t final sale so you aren’t stuck with something that doesn’t fit. If you can, go to the store and try them on. I was lucky enough that these were a perfect fit for me, but that isn’t always the case. Another fun fact for everyone about these red soled shoes: if your soles lose their red lacquer from all the times you have worn them, you can send them back to Christian Louboutin and they will repaint the soles for you! I mean if that’s not customer services I don’t know what is!
