These shoes are the kind you wear to a fancy dinner or a party where you can sit down & show them off, but even with my entirely behind-the-computer job, I didn't feel confident that I could walk to get coffee twice a day in these shoes. However, I *am* going out to dinner tonight with my sweetie because it's our wedding anniversary! So I'll wear the shoes then :-)
What I'm wearing:
Dark grey-black pinstripe dress, made by Donna | Black puff-sleeve sweater, H&M | Black elastic belt with grey flower, NY & Company | Black tights, Calvin Klein | Black wedges with corset lacing on the back, DSW | Silver medallion earrings, random accessory store | "Rosary" lipstick by Kat Von D
Do you have shoes that are 'just for looks' & not for walking? Or are your shoes purely utilitarian?
Happy anniversary! Those are wonderfully sexy shoes! What if you threaded a black (or red?) ribbon through the lace on the back so that you could tie them around your ankle to help hold them on? Just a thought...they are so funky!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I have a few pairs of shoes that are like that. I tend to wear them for parties, then kick them off halfway through the evening...but they're so lovely I don't want to get rid of them.
Hah, no, I'm totally the opposite -- my motto is "life's too short to wear shoes that hurt". Those are cute though. Do they come in a 1" heel version?
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary!!! Those shoes are wonderful, practical or not :) Oh I have a lot of shoes just to have them as treasures.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary.
ReplyDeleteI love those shoes :D
Happy anniversary! Those shoes are awesome.
ReplyDeleteI tend not to have uncomfortable shoes, unless I have to wear them as part of a wedding party or something. I prefer to be barefoot if at all possible, so any kind of discomfort is just too much.
Happy anniversary! Those wedges are amazing. I used to have a few pairs of not for walking shoes, but I recently got rid of them- they just weren't getting enough love. Getting rid of my purple pumps was a struggle though!
ReplyDeleteOoo, I'll have to examine the lacing & see if it'd be easy to swap out! Neat idea, thanks.
ReplyDeleteNope, just this tall one -- besides, if they were only 1" there wouldn't be enough space for all that awesome corset lacing :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks! Yes, beautiful shoes are such a joy.
ReplyDeleteOh no, purple pumps are too fabulous to get rid of.
ReplyDeleteFunny, I saw someone at work today in flip-flops & thot she was nuts -- it's cold!
ReplyDeleteWedding anniversaries are wonderful! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteI bought my first pair of wedges recently, and was amazed to find them super-comfortable. I did customize them a bit with gel pads.
Happy anniversary!
ReplyDeleteI love the shoes, but I wouldn't be able to wear something like that. I am the purely utilitarian type when it comes to footwear. I live in a 3rd floor walk-up in a big city, without a car, so it's all walking and public transportation for me, I have to think of comfort. The few times I tried wearing heels, I really regretted it. I always wear flats: black Mary Janes, Skecher Shape-Ups, Tom's, etc.
I. Love. This.
ReplyDeleteI'm totally copying this, but I won't blog it, so no one will ever know.
Love you blog, love all your outfits, but this is one of my favorites.
fabulous shoes, but i feel you on the comfort factor.
ReplyDeletep.s. love the big belt with the cardigan, it really shows off your teeny waist.

WOO! Those totally rock. I'm sure hubby appreciated them at your dinner!
ReplyDeleteThose shoes are cute but I could never wear them. I can't wear pumps or anything low in the front because my feet slip right out. I have to wear boots, laceups or anything with a strap over the instep like a strappy sandal or mary jane.
ReplyDeleteLOVE this one! Professional, feminine--sexy as hell!! You looked great and I hope it was a wonderful anniversary supper!
ReplyDeleteAwesome shoes!!!!!! Love your outfit.
ReplyDeleteHi Trystan! It’s me, Dolores-from the “olden golden days”. Ehem… I finally have a lazy weekend to sit and read/comment your blog which I had been meaning to do for a while. First: I think the entire concept of your blog is a good one. Now that most of us are grown and now have bills to pay we no longer have the luxury of telling a boss off or bumming and slumming it for dark fashions sake in complete. Not to mention a lot of us have slightly grown out of the more extreme Goth look anyhow (though in our heart of hearts it still reigns supreme.. So yes I like how you keep it there yet subtle enough to be playful and workplace appropriate. Kuddos to you. Second: Shoes! I cannot resist a shoe convo! All of my shoes are “just for looks' & not for walking” even though I walk everywhere in them. I only own 2 pairs of comfort shoes (converse and a riding boot) which I refer to as my errand shoes. So if I say “can someone hand me my grocery store shoes” or hey throw me my target run shoes” everyone in the house knows it’s one of those two pairs lol. It’s a rare day I go under 3 inch heels.
