A: I really want a pair of Madewell mules. Something to bridge the gap between Birkenstocks and boots.
M: I am getting the damn leopard ones I think:
A: I’m stuck between those and the bronze with the heel:
M: I want something flat.
A: I don’t own a pair of mules, so I don’t know?
M: I will say if you want to try the style before committing Target has several that are very cute to experiment with.
A: Hmm
M: Leopard is backordered until December 🙄
A: Ugh, seriously, Madewell?
M: Yeah so that’s that. Who wants backless slides in December?
A: I went to the mall on my lunch break to return that shitty pilled sweater to BR and tried on some stuff at a few other stores. Everything I tried on was overpriced and ill-fitting. I don’t even know where to shop anymore.
M: Girl I KNOW.
M: What do we do.
A: Like, what am I supposed to do?
A: I tried on an $88 viscose blouse (hand wash!) that looked awful on.
M: I mean it’s handy that I don’t want anything I guess.
M: But
M: I'm just suddenly desperate for fall clothes and it's still 80 degrees. It's like a switch flipped.
A: I’m like, do I go full Eileen Fisher?
M: Under consideration for sure.
A: Semi-related, I rented a Joie blouse similar to this and loved it:
A: Do I just buy fewer things and try for nicer quality? I want to be that person.
M: That’s what I’m doing.
M: Or buying nicer stuff secondhand if I know the fit.
A: I love Posh but fit is an issue.
A: How does Vince run?
M: Oh well that’s timely because they changed their fit about two years ago and now it runs small and short when it used to run bigger and flowier. BULLSHIT.
A: WHY
M: I give up.
A: It’s so immensely frustrating.
A: Like, the brands that used to be known for quality are now just selling expensive crap.
A: Fit is all over the place.
M: It’s just great.
A: The sweater I returned to BR? I wore it ONE TIME and it was so horribly pilled by the end of the day that I actually marched back there to return it. They didn’t argue at all.
M: Good for you.
A: I was pissed. Like, give me my $28 back.
✶✶✶✶
M: TARGET is literally the only place showing me clothes I like.
A: I wish there was a higher-end Target line. Like, this line but quality.
M: Same.
A: sigh
(To be continued...)
I am currently wearing the heeled mules (in black), and have the leopard ones on backorder. The heeled ones are very comfortable and easier to walk in than I anticipated. I needed to order a half size up. If you're going to choose one, I'd go with the leopard though. I find flats more versatile.
ReplyDeleteI’m currently wearing the Target mules in the rust color. They’re cute, cheap, and comfortable!
ReplyDeleteBoden?
ReplyDeleteMaybe worth reconsidering! I just had a hard time with fit.
DeleteI want to love mules so badly but every time I wear them out I can't go one block without flinging at least one off. Usually in a busy crosswalk.
ReplyDeleteYes, this.
DeleteI have the Madewell Remi Bow mules in pinot noir and I love them so much. I've worn them a couple of times a week since I bought them and I love them even more every time I wear them. They're super comfy and come up pretty high so I've had no issues with them coming off my foot. Highly, highly recommend.
