creeper sole is going to be bigger than the insole where you actually stick your foot...

stick with your cp size if you have narrow feet, imo - otherwise they are pretty TTS.

ps that salmon skin is super delicate. thinking of copping the black ostrich joints...probably not though

From just looking at the image, I wouldn't have bought it. But I did. And I love it to death.

Wish the sleeves weren't cropped so short; but that's the whole point of the piece. ::shrugs:: I am in love with the fabric, color, and frayed hems. Odyn Vovk's cuts fit me so well...it almost makes me want to stop working out. I practically own every OV pieces.

Reminds me of Napoleon Bonaparte.

Can't. Too ugly. Don't want to be sued for cracked glass objects. But a lot of others must have purchased it; since it sold out on Gilt fast. Wish I had waited for the Gilt sale instead of buying it early. I bought it hoping it would be similar to the gauze blazer from the same collection. Didn't quite live up to expectations but still a great piece. The reversible gauze blazer, on the other hand, is one of the most versatile pieces in my wardrobe. I have worn it many times; and it, without exaggerations, ALWAYS gets complimented on. Whoever is a size MEDIUM needs to snatch the only one left from Blackbird ASAP.

thanks briza, i remember you posted about kopping the salmon a while back
i actually just received a really nice reply from marc hare himself clarifying that in general his lasts are a little longer than average shoes for the slimming effect, and that length is a relatively unimprotant determinant of it. I agree, though being (sort of) between sizes i'm hoping i can sacrifice a bit of fit for the ideal length i'm after
iydmma when you said the salmons are super delicate do you mean they are prone to scratch marks or that they require a lot of care and maintaneance?

Not trying to be harsh but you seem to have too much money to waste.
