S.O.S: First Pink Shoes from Anthology

in as much as i have a penchant,er and addiction to the color pink, i don't own a single pink pair of shoes ( i mean excluding my last SOS which will fall in my category of sneakers) coz i always play safe in my shoe colors -- black, beige, gray and brown. it was a bold move for me when i bought my blue Pilipinas flats from Ichigo and i realized that shoes can give that certain oomph to any outfit without trying hard. thus, the search for my first pink shoes begin.Preview

i wanted the Tory Burch reva flats but they are still too expensive for me. so the search continues. until one night, when G asked me to meet him at Shangri-La so he can shop for clothes for the book launch th next day, we went straight to The Ramp, Crossings. since we're crunching time before the shop closes, we decided to split. (and since it takes him a hour and a half to choose a single clothing) i roamed around The Ramp's shoe section. then the sign was there in front of me. "SALE: 50% Off" on Anthology shoes!!! OMG! i really wanted to own a pair of Anthology shoes eversince i read about it online but i thought it was pricey. so i checked Anthology's rack and i found that the onlyone in my size (for the 50% off) is the Mosaic style in baby pink.

 it took me a while to buy it thinking of the possible ensembles i can have judging from my closet. and since i own a number of pink shorts and white shorts, i guess it can work. so i asked for the other pair and tried it on. 

actually, i don't think it flatters my feet's complexion since i'm on the morena side...

 but WTH! it's 50% for crying out loud. it was priced at Php1,695.00 and now it's only Php847.50!

 and it's in my budget (my boyfriend and i had this Sale principle that if it's Sale it must be worth less than a thousand). and to complete the Anthology purchase, i specifically asked for Anthology's own paper bag! and the packaging looks posh as each shoe is in its own plastic then covered with a black paper to match the black box with silver logo. 

so another grabbed item from my wish list! yipee! my first ever pink shoes!

Mosaic is one of the older styles of Anthology. It's a patented ballet flats with it's logo spread over the sole.

Performance wise, it's comfy and i can feel that it will last longer the other shoes i bought. and since my feet always get blisters on every break-in of every brand of shoe (imagine my feet having blisters with Crocs!), i only got a little this time. i'm using it twice a week now and until now, it still looks new. it's very suprising considering that i'm a commuter. over all it is so worth it!

i'm just glad that for my first pair of pink shoes i have to get it from a Philippine made and posh shoe-brand (and of course the fact that i got it on Sale): Anthology.

Anthology is located at The Ramp, Crossings, Shangri-La Plaza.
