A brief interlude of completely frivolous materialism

Before tomorrow, I must: 1) finish writing a paper about Beowulf, 2) translate a lengthy passage of Greek, 3) decipher a rather complicated proposition from Euclid, and 4) read 77 pages of Arthurian romance.

In other words: perfect time for a blog post!

Haha. Do not worry. I am not COMPLETELY insane—therefore this will be only a very short post. I just thought I should give you something lovely to look at on your Sunday evening. And these shoes fit the bill quite nicely:

Yum.

Mmmmmmmm, delicious. Yep, that’s what I thought, too, when I found them perched on a spinning rack at a local thrift store over spring break.

And what’s more…

Just right

I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this before, but I have teeny-tiny feet. It is very rare that I actually find any shoes in my size. So when I leaned in for a closer look and saw “5 1/2″ printed on the footbed of these scrumptious little numbers, my heart went pitter-pat.

And then I found out they were only ten dollars, and, well… that is when I melted into a puddle of shopping success.

Woosh

… And they lived happily ever after, except for the permanent damage that Erin is probably doing to her legs and back by wearing high heels around all the time.

The end.

    Are you serious? I feel like I can’t find cool things in my shoe size, but I see yours everywhere! Maybe it’s because people in Texas have small feet — so I don’t luck out — and people in Oregon have big feet, but that seems backwards.

    Maybe we should have a shoe exchange :)

    i, like ranjani, seem to find those 5.5s everywhere whilst all 8.5s are generally mia.

    so i’m jealous of your find, those shoes are too cute.

    You should do what my grandmother did. Find a shoe boutique in town that carries the styles you like. Make a deal with them to buy their window display models at the end of the season. Most stores will want to use small sizes in their display because they’ll look that much cuter/daintier/sexier. But they may have a problem selling them off at the end of the season because most of the women with small feet will have already bought them. Give them a guaranteed customer, and they’ll be happy to help you.
