Something about leaving work today made me go, I need some ridiculous shoes.

One stop to Payless later...

I now have a decent pair of flats, some fun heels for fall, a pair of those open-toed "sneakers" with a heel, and these platform-y faux cork-colored pumps. They screamed "THESE ARE SHOES YOU BUY WHEN ALL YOU WANT IS SHOES." I will probably never find an excuse to wear them, so I'm wearing them now as I lay on my bed. I feel totally decadent.

Tomorrow, I will probably panic and try to return all of these. Especially when I consider those $5 ridiculous shoes I bought and tried to wear for viridian's bachelorette party. (I ended up going to Duane Reade and buying and wearing house slippers around the city.)

K-Mart, I think? Wow, I totally didn't realize you couldn't just find those anywhere.

I also went shoe-shopping today!

Far be it from me to be sexist or nothing, but I'm guessing you didn't do it out of sudden girlish impulse. You probably did it out of sensible need, right?

Remember who you're talking to there....

PICTURES, WOMAN!

I totally have been coveting new shoes. I alllllmost bought a replica of SJP's shoes from Sex and the City, not because I like her at all, but because they were awesome, and like $25.

Indeed, I think for hilarity value there should be pics :)

Ask, and ye shall receive.

These are the flats. (http://www.payless.com/Catalog/ProductDetail.aspx?&TLC=Womens&SLC=WomensCasuals&BLC=WomensPromoFlats&Width=Regular&ItemCode=60024&LotNumber=062243&Type=Adult&Popularity=176&DescriptiveColor=Green) They are so sensible, it hurts, but I never, never, never had flats that fit so well and didn't make me feel stupid.

The sneaker-pumps I got are like these but with a peep-toe and a sling-back. (http://www.payless.com/Catalog/ProductDetail.aspx?&TLC=Womens&SLC=WomensCasuals&BLC=WomensCasualsTrendy&Width=Regular&ItemCode=59548&LotNumber=062209&Type=Adult&Popularity=512&DescriptiveColor=Red) I'll wear those out at least.

I can't find a picture of the fall-appropriate heels, but they're this shape (http://www.payless.com/Catalog/ProductDetail.aspx?&TLC=Womens&SLC=WomensDress&BLC=WomensDressTrendy&Width=Regular&ItemCode=55362&LotNumber=046689&Type=Adult&Popularity=2835&DescriptiveColor=Black/Flat) in this color. (http://www.payless.com/Catalog/ProductDetail.aspx?&TLC=Womens&SLC=WomensShoes&BLC=WomensDressTrendy&Width=Regular&ItemCode=60050&LotNumber=062325&Type=Adult&Popularity=195&DescriptiveColor=Tan)

And, finally, the ridiculosity shoes. (http://www.payless.com/Catalog/ProductDetail.aspx?&TLC=Womens&SLC=WomensDress&BLC=WomensDressSandals&Width=Wide&ItemCode=59497&LotNumber=060767&Type=Adult&Popularity=242&DescriptiveColor=Tan) Yeah, I'm breaking ankles if I try to wear those anywhere.

The ridiculous ones dont really look *that* ridiculous?

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

Alas, not. They were the best I could do at the local place. I debated getting some of the truly tacky or perilously heeled shoes at the discount store, but it's skeevy there, and I am not picking up fungus or warts for a stupid impulse to put on shoes....

[neo-leviathan.livejournal.com]

Not wanting to pick up fungus for trying on shoes I can most definitely understand! Quite highly advised in fact!

I still dont see them being deserving of the term 'ankle breaking' though

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

You try walking in them, then we'll talk :P

Can *you* see any ways around the rather obvious issues with that idea?

I have no idea why the previous comment was anonymous.

Man, see, that's what I wanted to go for, really--spindly heels and stupid toes that I can't wear. I ended up with a pair of flats, for christ's sakes. I mean, yes, ridiculous shoes to make me feel like a porn star, fine, but not enough! NOT ENOUGH.

What I need them to do is bring back those brown heeled mary janes I liked...

Hang on.. you chicked out/couldn't handle shoes of some kind? I still remember you doing Darkzone and Limbo in 3 inch boots for gods sake!

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

Those were BOOTS! It's totally different! I swears! Boots have ankle support! They also were wedge heels with significant traction. The ridiculous shoes I bought last night are tiny points with a stub on the bottom that's guaranteed to make me slip and die. Plus, I needed to adjust the straps on the sling-back so that it doesn't come off my heel when I try to walk.

[neo-leviathan.livejournal.com]

Well ok, I can see the point about boots having ankle support, but I dont get how it's such a huuuuge jump..
