Let's Talk About Shoes, Baby

They house our feet and in the winter help keep us from catching pneumonia. Apparently when your feet are warm, the entire rest of your body almost maintains heat. How scientifically interesting, right? But as much as that statement may or may not be true, these kicks are nothing of the sort. I like the think of them more as just art. You collect paintings? I collect shoes. When in high school, wearing heals was stupid. I mean that’s what I thought. And now, I wear these pieces of art all over campus. And boy, do they kill. Yes I’ve complained about them before. You may ask why do you do this to yourself? Because I’m stupid? NO. I do it for the love of fashion. I love it. I do. Carrie (yes I’m using another SATC reference) married her Manolo’s in A Woman’s Right to Shoes, and hell, I would do that if I found the right pair of shoes. Yes, right pair of shoes… not right man…. Sorry fellas! So here is a compilation of my recently featured pairs.

BCBG Snake skin healed sandals. I would definitely say these are my favorite pair. Surprisingly enough, I can wear these shoes for a long period of time and have no pain! And aren’t they beautiful? The answer is YES!

Franco Sarto healed sandals.  I had originally planned on wearing these in the city on my Chicago trip. I decided to go a different route, 1. because if I had worn these I would have frost bite on my toes, and 2. if I had worn these I would no longer have feet. These are great kicks for short periods of time. But if you can brave le pain, keep on walkin’ (in them)!

Converse low tops. I can’t even tell you how long I’ve had these shoes. They’re reliable and add a certain edge to any outfit. But I will admit that from time to time, they can cause a little bit ‘o pain. But if you were being chased down the street, at least you could get a little farther than some of these other choices.

Report ankle bootie. These, along with my friend’s mother’s jacket, were my lifesaver in the Windy City. Not insulated, and no arch… Oh shit, there I go sounding like an old woman… BUT THAT IS SOMETHING TO WORRY ABOUT! They are warm and they are relatively comfortable. Plus I look like a total hipster in them. I was wearing these before it was cool…

Liz Claiborne patent leather ballet flats. The bubblegum Barbie flats remind me of some gummy shoes that caused a rather large scar on my left knee. Tragic story, lets not dwell… Thanks to the clearance section of my fabulous place of employment I came across these beauts and fell in love. 


FOREVER21 boots. Last but not least my boots. Whether I’m heading to work, or go to the County Fair these boots take me there! The great thing about them is they were cheap and they have lasted. Dress up, dress down! Lets wear them all around!
