Francesca Bellavita pink glitter pumps, EU41, new in box!

This is an unmistakably, unapologetically girly shoe. They even come in a pink box with a lunchbox handle, emblazoned with the obviously ironic statement, "don't call me doll". I mean, these are unicorn-pink glitter shoes with scalloped edges finished in clear pvc trim. Clearly, these shoes are meant for channeling your inner Barbie doll! Although the very no-nonsense chunky heel does give off power suit vibes, so they might actually be meant for Legally Blonde style boardroom stealth maneuvers. Either way, it's a gorgeous and feminine shoe, beautifully hand-made in Italy. Francesca Bellavita launched her eponymous design house in 2017, and in 2019 was awarded by MICAM an emerging Italian designer. These are size 41, and they fit my size 9.5 feet quite nicely. Not that I ever wore them, what with the 4.25" heel, but they're just so pretty I almost want to keep them for display. I'm not sure why I'm so drawn to pink shoes, never thought of myself as all that girly, but maybe I just need them as memory pegs for those days when the only thing to do is surrender.
