I was shopping with Kelsey today and saw these in Kohls. There is no way I should want these shoes. I should look at them, write them off as stripper-gear, and buy another pair of ballet flats. My style tends toward the vintage-y, very feminine, verging on matronly. These are a pair of 4 inch heels with a 1 inch platform in "silver glitter" (I swear to God that was the color on the box...though it was actually more of a multicolored glitter).
Me: WOW! Look at these!
Kelsey: Shiny... ::tries to walk away::
Me: I kind of want them.
Kelsey: Really? ::long pause:: But what would you do with them?
Me: Wear them.
Kelsey: WHERE?
Me: I dunno, class? Debate tournaments?
Kelsey: Yup, great idea. You should definitely buy them so you can fall down at debate tournaments in them.
Me: They are only $30...
So I took a picture for posterity instead. SPARKLY SHOES! I MISS YOU!
I kind of want them too!

What about making glittery ballet shoes?
ReplyDeleteYES! Now I am on a quest. I must have them.

ReplyDeleteI saw those same shoes at Kohls last week and had to take a moment to gush about them. And then I snapped back to reality and remembered that I trip on flat surfaces while wearing ballet flats. So those glittery pieces of loveliness would probably kill me. But a girl can take a moment and dream and gush.
ReplyDeleteSeriously! Wearing these out of the house would have been a "bring your helmet and remember to tuck-and-roll" kind of experience.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, those shoes are amazing!
ReplyDeleteFor those of us who, unlike me, are actually capable of walking in heels, here is a link:

I believe they are, um, "inspired" by these kate spade heels: http://www1.bloomingdales.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=528151&cm_mmc=Froogle-_-n-_-n-_-n
