Do you recall the Old Navy sandals I accidentally purchased a few weeks ago? Well, they’re great and all but the original style is from Seychelles.  You can always count on ON to have more inexpensive versions of popular styles of shoes (and clothing).

Anyway, I was browsing through Endless (after I had already placed my order for the Marc by Marc Jacobs key pouch!) and noticed the Seychelles Surprise Ending Sandals, in Mint Green, were on sale!  Wish I had noticed it the other day so I could have combined my orders but ah well, what can you do?

In any case, they arrived today and I have to say, they are pretty amazing. I ordered a 1/2 size up based on some of the reviewers who said they’re a bit snug and I’m glad I did because they fit really well.  And they’ll be even more comfortable once they’ve been broken in.  These are my first pair of Seychelles and my first pair of mint green colored shoes.  I’m going to have lots of fun pairing these sandals with outfits.  It’s a little late in the season to wear these but with our year-round sunny Southern California weather, anything goes heh.

When I placed my Old Navy order for the blazer and jacket (which I both love and can’t wait to wear once it gets cooler); I didn’t notice I had another item in my shopping cart – a pair of shoes. I honestly don’t know how I could have overlooked it or not noticed the total (clearly, I’ve got baby brain hah) but I’m happy about my accidental purchase!

I ordered these previously in another color (tan/beige) but they were pretty snug in my regular size. I don’t understand why ON shoes aren’t offered in 1/2 sizes – is that too much to ask?  I was really bummed because they were cute but, from my experience, ON shoes tend to be a hit or miss size wise.  I would have exchanged them for the next size up but my local Old Navy store didn’t even have them in stock yet (wtf is that about?) so I sent them back.  Anyway, I’m glad I was able to re-order them because now they are perfect! They’re now sold out and no longer listed on the website – go figure.

If you’re looking for a pair of cute and inexpensive sandals these would be a great purchase. And they’re comfortable, too! If you can find them in stores, I believe they’re only $29.95.  :)

Btw and FYI, these Old Navy sandals are quite similar (ok they’re pretty much a direct copy hah) of the Seychelles Surprise Ending Sandals at a lower price point! ;)  Though, I do love the Mint Green version of the Seychelles sandals…

I can’t even begin to tell you how many pairs of flat sandals I have in my shoe closet but that doesn’t prevent me from getting more! ;)  I spotted these on the Forever 21 website today and had to snap them up because I don’t have anything that looks remotely like it.

I got both shades, Nude and Tan, of course because (I’m crazy like that) they’re such versatile shades that will go with anything from jeans, to skirts, shorts and dresses.  I’m hoping they’re as cute in person as they are online. I looked for them in the store but either they didn’t have them out yet or they’ve already sold out of them (not likely).  Either way I’m looking forward to receiving them and wearing both throughout the Summer season. :)
