Shoe lust.
I haven't been this shoe-focused in a long, long
time.
I find myself drifting into shoe shops with unfocused eyes and a very loose grip on my wallet.
Yesterday, I went to Shangri-la Mall to have my prescription checked at the optical shop on the second floor. Right beside the shop was a big SALE streamer for CMG. Powerless to resist, I went inside and tried on several pairs. I left with a pair of cloth-covered wedges with ankle ties. I have no idea what to wear with them.
I find the most gorgeous shoes online. None of the merchants ship here, which is a good thing I guess. My epitaph doesn't have to say "Beloved mother to Lucien and 1,259 way-too-expensive pairs of shoes."
From jamesandjames.com and cydwoq.com:
Today, it was back to the same mall to exchange a pair of Luc shoes. The pair I'd gotten had "tutuut" on the front and "vroom" on the side. I'd gotten the large size, and needed to size up to XL.I didn't return the bright yellow and black sandals stamped with the word "hurricane" anymore. They just fit. So he can probably wear them for the next couple of weeks max, just like the bumblebee booties.
Only 5 months old and already he has a shoe collection. That's my son, all right.
