Torrid wishlist

I have been on a shopping ban due to lack of funds, as we know I broke that yesterday by buying shoes  (I rationalize that with myself because they were 40% off in-store and I do not have any shoes like them). 

Here's my new shoes-still available at Torrid. I can't wait to wear them.






The shoes above were originally the ones I really wanted. I normally wear between an 8-9 in shoes. I tried these on in a 9 and they were WAY to big. I ended up finding a pair on display that was an 8, and go figure those ones were to small. The sales associate was trying to convince me to just get the larger size and inserts, but I know myself and in all honesty it's too much of a hassle and I would end up not wearing them. Then I seen the taupe mary janes and loved 'em. Strange though, those ones the 9 fit PERFECT!


These Torrid Booties are on my wish list, I wish they would of had them in store. They are also available in black, but I love cobalt right now. 
  I also feel that I need this rose pattern blazer from Torrid, it is so damn cute! It reminds me of a dress I had in the late 90's, Oh fond memories. 
Torrid has some awesome looking boots right now, but I am so leery of getting another pair of their boots. Last year I bought the Amelia boots and wore them to go clubbing in Seattle, after less than 2 hours of wear my feet wear throbbing and felt like fire. I ended up taking the shoes off and looking at my feet, the balls of both feet had huge blisters- am talking half dollar coin size + that spanned all the way across both of them. I have NEVER had a pair of shoes do that before. What's crazy is I also had socks on that gave some amount of padding. Yeah, so I haven't bought another pair of Torrid boots since. I like Lane Bryant boots, but they seem to just use the same silhouette each year and just had different hardware. 

Lastly I would love to try out  a pair of Harem Pants. I would of a long time ago, but I have never found any locally that I can try on before purchasing...bummer.

    1. As does it seem like the majority of women in the US. I swear whenever I go to stores they always sell out of sizes 8 through nine super fast.

  2. I like Torrid shoes because they are cute and they carry my size (12) only problem is I don't have a wide foot so I can only gets shoes that have something going over the top of the foot to keep my feet inside, like a boot or those maryjanes (those are too cute)... i dont think I would ever go clubbing in a pair of torrid shoes, unless they were wedges... Id be deathly afraid that they would break!!! let alone kill me feet..that must have hurt...how long did it take for the blisters to heal...wow what an experience....

    1. It took weeks for them to heal, so ridiculous. I think Torrid does have cute shoes, but I don't think they are that comfortable, so I don't wear them enough to even begin to find out if they would break, lol.

  3. I guess for some shoes you might be 8.5 - 9. I have been stock in the middle of shoe sizes, it wasn't fun for a while. Also the rose blazer from Torrid is really cute.

    1. This is exactly why I like to try shoes on before purchasing them, cause you really can never tell.
