Oooo, I love them! I just did a feature on the menswear-inspired oxford look too…but of course, all of mine have lower heels–or I’d be out of a job
Yeah I saw your feature! I’m contemplating on which pair to buy… I like the ones with the wedge heel, but am afraid they look a little too boyish…
Beware of Piperlime! I ordered one pair of shoes from Piperlime and was shipped the wrong size on three different occasions. They eventually ran out of stock and I never got my shoes! Once is a mistake, twice is an accident, and three times is a pattern. Their excuse? …”it happens.”
Ooooh that’s really not good. I’ve never ordered from Piperlime, but I have ordered from OldNavy.com and not had a problem.
Has anyone else experienced problems with Piperlime?
