Just got feet, don't got SHOES

I will try! One day. For now, I'll stick to my gawth look.

i love black with tan shoes/accessories. i actually really love that outfit you posted enbb! cute dress.
i'm briefly visiting toronto for the art fair in a few weeks - i always seem to buy shoes when in TO! so we'll see...

I really like that dress too! However, the caramel color of boots has become overwhelming to me as a style. Cannot do. It is too everywhere.

I'm sure the fact that I look like someone's Portugese grandma today is intolerable to someone else, too, but just...there are things I can't look at on myself in the mirror and take remotely seriously and warm tan boots are one of them.

what are you wearing (shoe wise) that's making you look like a Portuguese Grandma?

other than my not-so-warm-tan moccasins, i haven't actually owned a pair of tan shoes for at least 15 years, but i think about it... dark brown though, yes!
xp
that was also my question

lol @ portuguese grandma

All of my shoes are black or red.

Well, these. With a white shift dress and a giant scarf tied like a grandma's shawl, and my hair in a bouffant/bun.

xp lol otm

there should be more blue shoes imo
for me

I agree with the blue shoes. And round toes instead of pointy. My feet are so big I do _not_ need a point to accentuate them. Unless maybe those fabulous Mexican cowboy boot things, hah.

I like those red shoes! But I can see what you are saying. I think my coworkers would tease me mercilessly if I tried the scarf trick, unfortunately.

laurel that sounds p amazing

And round toes instead of pointy. My feet are so big I do _not_ need a point to accentuate them

HELL TO THE MOTHERFUCKING YEAH

I am so tired of pointy shoes. I need more round toed pumps but they don't make enough of them! Boo.

Guys, if you see that black dress anywhere or anything that sort of resembles that black dress please tell me asap. I NEED that dress. Thanks in advance.

i don't wear pointy shoes for the same reason!

i like the caramel/tan boot thing but i just haven't been able to find a pair that's the right shade/style yet.. though i did put a pair on preorder that i hope will work out whenever they arrive

have not seen the black dress anywhere but i like it too. where's the image from?

I found the image on Pinterest and reverse GISing it seems to land you on some french fashion blog. The post with that pic was from 2008. Never gonna find it. Sigh. Still would be v interested in anything that sort of looks like it though.

i have a dress shaped kinda like that from uniqlo, it's a little frillier though. it's black and has the drop waist with gathered skirt, but instead of buttons up the front it has two kind of mermaid ruffles. i think it was part of some ridiculous "alice in wonderland" series. i love it because it's totally all seasons, and i can dress it up or down depending on mood. also super comf.

that dress does look like it's by a french label but it looks a little too simple to be one of the one's i'd recognize.. maybe it's comptoir des cotonniers..

i made the most practical shoe-buying decision i've made in years today: i bought black Blundstones. i needed something i could walk a lot in, hike a little in, are waterproof, can get dirty, etc. and looking at all the ugly walking/hiking shoes out there, these were the best option! i haven't worn boots like this since my doc marten 90s days! they are quite comfortable. if i roll my skinny jeans up, they look cuter. at the same time, chunky boots, ohboy. i do feel tough tho!

i also think they will look cute with big wooly socks and legwarmers. both of which i need to go find and purchase. but they are out there; i have seen them. eesh, shopping!

i just don't want to fall into that particular aesthetic that is a mainstay of more expensive outdoor-gear stores - it's like outdoorsy+hippiecool+$$. i'm not really worried.
also, the sales guy was so cute. and he said he was studying physics at school. aw.

I basically bought the same pair of shoes x3 the other week.

These, for one.

And these, if this works:

Do we put handbags here, too?

Because this is my newest baby.

Oh god I totally love that shoe on the desk!

Anne Klein's lower-priced AK line!!

excellent name for a lower priced line imo ;

that was a wink without a smile i guess?

I'll provide the )

laurel i love the black and taupe shoes!!

most recent purchase - bought for $40 from a going out of business sale. very comfy.

those are CUTE! really like that sort of cuban heel on them

Yes, those are A+.

sooo cute
the last pair of shoes i bought were actually giant boots (40% off yaay!) - my first pair of truly warm winter boots - and it only took me 10 years of montreal winters to finally buy. lol...

they're not actually all that giant compared to sorels or keens or other big winter boots. and no zipper! i am so tired of zippers breaking due to lots of walking + salt damage. and i can wear these snowshoeing :)

Was thinking this morning, since it's 17 degrees out, that this weekend might be the time to hit an Army-Navy store, unless I can find some awesome on-sale Sorels or something.

another modcloth animal classic

Those are something.

i only look at that site for abominations these days. they have some ok stuff MAYBE but mostly it's just high heel platform fake docs with cats on them.

lol whoa but i still somehow have a certain respect for those

bene, are those shoes from the brand ALL BLACK? I've been eyeing a few of their looks for a while...

oh that's so funny - no wonder i like them too! i have a pair of All Black shoes i bought a couple of years ago in brooklyn - they are exactly the same shape except the leather isn't textured and has little cutouts in flower pattern. they are really comfortable too. i recommend, wld buy again.

I have a strange aversion to peep toes because my toes are not long enough to peep. I have short toes.

haha i kind of have the opposite prob - i don't want the peep hole (um...) to be too big because it makes my long (but not really all that long!) toes appear longer.

so I have to gab about those Bass heeled patent leather saddle shoes again... I don't think I've worn a pair of shoes that's received this many compliments, EVER. They are totally amazing. And go with A LOT of my wardrobe. Pretty comfy, too. A+++++

Oh, I should check the Bass outlet this week.

I had a pair of saddle shoes about 15 years ago.

yes they are all black! i got them on mega sale from a store in maine that was going out of business. they are super comfy.

My Bass loafers are pretty rad, but they were EXTREMELY tight over the instep until I stretched 'em. Clearly made for someone with a lot less arch than my poor feet. May not be as much of a problem with an oxford style?
