DYOS nude open toe platforms
Excuse my un-matching nail colour.
I’ve been wanting nude toned shoes since they were on YSL 2007 fashion show. They weren’t big back then and I kept postponing the plan to get a pair and eventually forgot about it. Then the nude trend came back this year in spring. I visited almost every brand available in London to get a pair but still failed – the Jimmy Choo one was too pale for my skin, Valentino was adorable but too delicate to wear for everyday occasions, Louboutin was perfect, except they didn’t have my size in Selfridges and Mount Street.
Now winter is approaching and I know it’s my last chance. Get it now or it’ll be too late to wear, or the trend will be gone again. So I have a pair of nude shoes tailor made.
DYOS is one of my favourite shoe-place in Hong Kong. They have hundreds of styles and materials and fits, and even if you can’t find anything you like, you can design your own shoes and have them made. LOVE the idea. Only problem is the waiting – it normally takes a month to have a pair made. I wanted my nude shoes so badly I ordered a couple of months ago, and now here they are - the right design, the right height, the right shade of beige, and the right size. Cannot be happier.
Except how many times can I wear them before winter arrives?
