I SAW YOU


I saw you.

Wednesday. Lunchtime. Macy’s, 34th Street, 5th Floor Shoe Department.

You: a perfect combination of pointy-meets-round toed blue-green suede pair of flats. A big flower on the side (it worked). Enzo Anglionini. Price tag: $85. You were next to an ugly pair of frumpy black flats which only made you all the more attractive. I spotted you as soon as I rounded the corner. You're the perfect color for winter. You took my breadth away. This picture doesn't do you justice.

Me: Mid-20s girl, recently arrived to this town. Brown cashmere turtleneck (thrift store purchase), green courdory skirt (H&M), brown tights, orange-brown low heel round-toed shoes (my favorite pair of the fall…or not!). I was in search of a black pair of boots, and should not be buying such an expensive pair of flats. Who wears Enzo Anglionini anymore these days anyways?

Should I buy you instead of the black boots I desperately need? I have three outfits in mind for you already (I’m thinking light gray slacks, black turtleneck). I can't be buying shoes in the middle of a move. Do I wait and hope that you go on sale soon? Look for an alternative at DSW that will pale in comparison?

Praticality over fashion. What is a shoe-obsessed girl like me to do? Help!

Dear Trend Consultant,

While I believe in love at first sight, something tells me that $85 for a pair of turquoise shoes that could easily be destroyed by the coming New York winter isn't right. Moreover, we've got bills to pay. I vote practicality on this one. Sorry, my domestic partner.

It never ceases to amaze me of the quality content in blogs. Yours is good.

We have a boot lined sheep short skin site. It full of boot lined sheep short skin information.

Come have coffee sometimes.
