Shoes-day: J Crew Janey Printed Flats

I’ve liked the Janey Flats since they were introduced but they felt “fancy” to me. I usually wear heels when needing a “fancy” shoe and not a flat. After seeing the Printed Flats in Vanilla Multi, but what was really the Mai Tai print, in the catalog, I looked for them online during the last big roll-out a few weeks ago. They snuck in last week and were immediately sent to sale during the 40% off/Final Sale.

Here’s the stock pic. Notice the blues are more prominent in the print.
And here are mine. Not so “Blues-y”; more “pink-y”.

The lighter portion of the silk-cotton is more prominent at the front. You can also see the pattern doesn’t match up. That doesn’t bother me as this is a fabric and it would be hard to manipulate each piece to match on each shoe.

The heels are plastic and not leather. Not sure why I noticed as every pair of flats I own, except for my Louboutins, have a plastic heel; even the pumps/heels from various brands.

I took my normal size 7. There’s a little room at the heel but that’s nothing an insert can’t fix. A 6 1/2 is tight at the front.

I do like these I just wish they were bluer. Though these were Final Sale I am thinking of calling to see if they can’t do an exchange for a pair that has more Navy in the print. 
What do you think about the Janey Printed Flats? Anyone try these?

    Pretty shoe–but I agree bluer would be super! I think they should definitely exchange since the advertised pair represents almost a completely different shoe!

    I also agree with both of you on the blue, but they are a fun pair of shoes!!

    I actually like the shoes you have on better than the catalog photo. They are nicely similar in the front. I would be concerned that a different pair might not match up as well. They are lovely.

    I saw them but never tried them on. I'm afraid that I would get them dirty in no time at all!

    Wow. They need to an allow a return for sure. I recvd mine yesterday and they had a lot of blue in them. Likely a return for me as I just see banging them up and getting tears in the fabric. When I review, I'll link to ya 🙂

    I think they're really pretty, would be cute with white jeans.

    My VPS let me return them and them re-ordered them for me adding a note saying to find one with more blue, like the online image. And, the price cut again so I saved $17. We'll see how they are when I get them next week.

    Gigi – Can't wait to see yours!
