Little Red Briding Blog

I had posted a while ago speaking about my perfect wedding shoes… I had found them… but the heels were a bit on the high side.  Meanwhile, I’ve been casually searching about hoping to one day come across the perfect pair.  Well, it seems that this past monday was the day of fate!  I don’t even remember how, but somehow I stumbled upon a pair of red 2.5 inch peep toe pumps with a rosette on them at AnnTaylorLOFT.com.  They were absolutely everything I was looking for in a pair of shoes just gauking at me from my screen.

Even better… they were on sale for $39.99 with a 25% discount on top of that, for a grand total of $23.99 plus shipping.  Only problem?  I’m a size 6.5 and the red color was only in size 6.  I ordered them anyway, knowing that sometimes 6 does fit, and then thinking I’ll probably just suffer on my wedding day if they don’t because I just couldn’t pass them up!

Then, last night, I decided to show one of my bridesmaids what I had ordered, and noticed that miraculously, 6.5 had popped up in the color red!  It was 10 pm by this point, so customer service had gone home.  So, today, after work, I called them asking if they could do a switcharoo on my order.  Unfortunately it’d already been processed and placed in a ready-to-ship area, so the operator said he could send me another pair in 6.5 and waive the shipping (since I wouldn’t be refunded that when returning my shoes).  Of course, my 6.5 red shoes had also disappeared, and so did the sale.  So he located them in several stores across the country, and said he’d have them shipped to me from a store instead, charging me the same price I’d paid on Monday!  And then I could just return whatever shoe I don’t want to any Ann Taylor store!

All I have to say is that I LOVE Ann Taylor right now!!!  They are amazing!  They went way above and beyond to get me my dream shoes for a great price!
