Shoe Porn: Givenchy Vittorias Heel in Gold Glitter

Totally unnecessary? Yes. Who on earth needs biker heels coated in sparkly gold glitter? Yet, that did not stop me from falling in love with these Givenchy Vittorias glitter heels with suede trim the moment I saw them.

Apparently I am not the only one who covets impractical chunky-and-glittery footwear, since the shoe promptly sold out in most places. Then a couple of weeks ago, a sample pair in 38.5 popped up for half off on Forward by Elyse Walker. The trouble? They were final sale and I usually wear 39 or 39.5.

Ought I to bite the bullet? After all, they're so glittery.

   
I went on the Internet seeking answers, and found these photos of Poppy Delevigne sporting the heels.

Oh, dear. I bit the bullet. This story has a happy ending: the shoes fit! Now I have filled that glitter-shaped hole in my shoe wardrobe.

Poppy showed me that the best way to wear such bold and glittery heels is with denim. I would wear mine with dark cigarette ankle jeans and a pale chambray blouse, tucked in.

Is there a pair of glittery shoes in your wardrobe? If so, how do you like to wear them? If not, would you go out now and get a pair?
