Comment on Rosette T-Straps by Chie Mihara by Jane

I know what you mean, I’m glad in a way that I can’t afford to buy all of the shoes I’d like though… I’d be Imelda Marcos for sure! I love the Guinyo and Frunera pairs Yowza!

What I like about Chie Mihara is she captures 40s glam in some styles but 70s funk in other shoes. So fun! My favorite Chie supplier (love the personal customer service--they remember me from one order to the next), Ped Shoes, just got in a similar shoe. Same t-strap and color, but a flower that's kind of hydrangea-like. I also love, love, love this blue heel with the same kind of rosette as above. If only my ship would come in...

Glad you liked it! I’m sorry the photos aren’t better, but I am not a great photographer to start with, and the rental house we live in gets very little natural light for some reason.

You should be seeing some of them around because they have been consistantly popular for the last several summers, although I’ve never seen anyone wearing them in person. They always have loads of them at Target, which means they will end up at a thrift store soon, with as much merchandise as Target donates to Salvo’s and GW. I actually also have a dark red one that I purchased at Thrift Store USA in Norfolk (my favorite Norfolk thrift store) for about $4 I just keep that one around in case I ever decide to go out side one day, LOL. Both of my hats were new with tags from Target originally.

Brilliant! I’ve been eying some of these floppy hats at the “trendy” stores at the mall, and musing that I probably could remake one into that 40s wide brim felt hat I’ve always wanted! Now I know how! hehe. Though I like your idea of using a thrift store hat the best… will have to keep my eyes peeled. Thanks for sharing this!

I would suggest contacting HSN customer service. I have no dealings with HSN what-so-ever and I even had the channel blocked out on my cable box until we recently got rid of the cable altogether.
