This past winter I came across a pair of grey Dolce Vita Pela wedges on eBay that I couldn’t pass up. They were brand new in the box & I scored them for about $70 once shipping was figured in. The only problem was that they were a 6.5, as opposed to my usual size 7. My black & brown Pela wedges are a bit loose on me, so I figured I could make the 6.5 work. Yeah, not so much. I wore them once & it was a painful experience.
My mom has been lusting after Pela/Pali in grey for quite some time. She typically wears a size 6, but had tried on my grey 6.5s when I received them & decided that she could work with that size. Since I most definitely could not work with that size, I hatched a brilliant scheme to make us both happy.
Last night I ordered grey Pali in a size 7 on Karmaloop (used promo code TWT50 & rep code AGENTSPITS to get 11% off + free shipping) & gave mom Pela in 6.5 as one of her birthday presents.
I sacrificed Italian leather in the process, but I actually think the color of Pali will coordinate better with my grey Treesje Tristan bag. It’s hard to tell by pictures alone, but it seems like Pali has a little more taupe to it. Also, Pela is way lighter than it appears online.
One of Karmaloop’s images makes them seem very dark. I’m thinking that’s probably not very accurate.
Karmaloop is usually super quick with their shipping, so I should have them early next week. Review to follow!
