I like shoes. Boots in particular. And in retrospect, following the shoelust account on tumblr may have been a bad idea. But I've promised myself that since I did buy sensible winter boots, and I bought boots for halloween, and I'm about to buy sneakers for work again, I am allowed one new pair of shoes or boots for my own personal wearing.
Basically, I wanted something I can wear with skirts or slacks. Something classy. And I've decided that I need to convert to spats - a pair of spats is cheap, especially as I found a DIY pattern that seems quite simple and I have a weekly craft night (and a huge button collection, even) to follow through in making them. Because spats can be various colours and heights, and thus will turn this one pair of shoes into INFINITE SHOES.
Finding footwear that comes with spats, and is not just in the style of spats, is amazingly tough. I found one style, and they were unattractive.
Anyway. I'm asking some opinions - do you prefer the
cute Franco Sarto's or
sexy sex pumps? The price difference isn't huge, and I think both could do spats well. And both probably suit me in that quirky conservative yet sexy way.
Oh! And my quiet frontier town has gone wild - last night a house 2 miles away exploded, and this afternoon bank robbers were spotted a mile away. I fully expect tomorrow morning to involve some other wacky hijinks.
