Liz Lisa lace up pom pom pumps in bordeaux

Continuing the bordeaux shopping trend, of course I had to get these pumps! Actually, I had first pre-ordered these back in early August so all the other bordeaux items were actually purchased in support of these even though I received them so much later.

I loved the design of these but wasn't sure if I wanted to order them right away. Once the promotional autumn photos started to come out and they were heavily featured, I really warmed up to them. They sold out on the TKL first autumn preorder but returned during the second set of preorders. I knew I didn't want to miss the opportunity to get them, so I picked up the last pair in that listing. They were due to be shipped in mid September. They ended up shipping from TKL on Sep 1, and I received them in early September via SAL.

Shoes with a zipper at the back of the heel usually fit a little big on me, but I figured it would be better to size up than size down and went with my standard size L. When I wear these without socks, the fit seems to be a little looser (as expected) and I need to adjust the ribbon tightness depending on that. That being said, overall, I can tell these pumps are just very slightly bigger than usual as I expected them to be but I'm almost certain that getting M would have been a mistake and too small. Even with a super small gap at the heel, the abundance of lace up detailing certainly keeps my foot securely in the shoe. The ribbon used is a slightly different color (red base versus purple base again I think) than the faux suede material for the shoe but it doesn't make much of a difference to me, especially because of the different kinds of bordeaux items I just got in my last order lol.

This pumps were a great purchase and I'm glad I didn't miss my chance to get them. I think that if there wasn't a pom pom at the end of each ribbon, these might be a little more versatile for me, but that also makes them really cute of course. My Liz Lisa shoe inventory is kind of overfilled with pumps (compared to sandals) but these are certainly different enough in color and style that they certainly aren't redundant. The pom poms and lace up detail are so fun, and I really can't wait to wear these with more and more outfits, especially with Liz Lisa autumn 2016 items!
