Shoes-day: J Crew Factory – Isabelle Raffia Pumps, Isabelle Printed Bow Pumps

The Isabelle’s are my favorite Factory shoe. The 3-inch heel height is very manageable and the insole is surprisingly well cushioned. I was waiting and hoping to see if the Green Lattice print would be made in the Isabelle but so far it’s not. But the latest offering of the Isabelle are very gorgeous, especially IRL. I always take a size 7 in the Isabelle. Though you’ll see a little gaping at the heel, I’ve found that the size 6 1/2 is too snug at the front of the foot though it fits in the length. I ordered both the Raffia and the Navy/Ivory stripe soon after they showed up online. See the pics below.

The Raffia is a similar pattern as the Isabelle in Ikat. I have no idea what I will wear them with yet but I love these. They are completely different from anything I have both in pattern and material.

I have these in the Red/Navy stripe from last Summer and though I’ve only worn them a handful of times, still love them. I was excited to see they came in a Navy/Ivory stripe though, oddly, my box says Black/Ivory. 
I absolutely love both pair. I am trying to make outfits with them now so they don’t just sit in my closet and look pretty. 

Have you seen or tried either of these Isabelle Pumps?

    Great reviews. I keep looking at the raffia and telling myself I don't need them. I have the Ikat and the black/stripe (they look navy!). Neither have been worn. It took me a minute to wear the red/navy stripe, but after the first wear it was easier to work them into rotation.
