I meant this blog to be about grooming, but I’m positively aching over some shoes right now, and I need an outlet.

I will have these shoes. I have to ship them to my parents’ house in the U.S. because Piperlime sucks, but oh well. I’m hoping they go on sale soon, because $80 is a bit too much for me to spend on “fun” shoes as opposed to “practical” shoes, but I’m not really sure I can hold out for a sale. These shoes are like a soothing balm; whenever I get upset about something, I think of purple suede wedges, and immediately feel better.

I saw these in person today, at an Esprit store. I was actually there searching for a certain type of purse, which probably has a name but I don’t know it; clutch with a long strap? Anyway, they didn’t have anything close to what I was looking for, but these funky (ew, I shouldn’t use that word) shoes caught my eye from across the store. They’re so cute in person. I’m not sure they’d be comfortable, but they’d look awesome peeking out from under a pair of dark jeans.

Ugh. (HAR HAR) I’ve never liked Uggs, which turn everyone’s feet into those of a badly drawn cartoon character; but there have been several moments in the past week when I would gladly trade my high-heeled, non-insulated leather boots for a snuggly pair of flat-footed, fur-lined Uggs.
I have some Sorels (purchased on advice of this blog post; check eBay for good deals) that kept my feet super-happy during a seriously cold 2008/2009 winter, but it seems extreme to wear them now, as the temperatures are still almost in the Celsius teens and the rain isn’t very heavy. Then again, I’ve been fighting the temptation to break out my long, down-filled parka already, so I guess I’m just seeking comfort wherever I can find it.
