They're classic, they go with everything, they're cute in every colour and you can make them sexy or sweet.
A while back, I was looking for shoes for my friend's speakeasy themed birthday party (how perfect, considering my flapper obsession!) and my mum and I wound up in a thrift store.
Now, you may say "Ick!" at the idea of buying second-hand shoes, but I think there's a treasure trove here. As long as they're in good condition, don't reek to high heaven, and are interesting-looking, I don't think there's a problem. Plus, I managed to get 6 pair for 56$ that day. I mean, really, how can that be a bad thing?
Anyways, back to the task at hand. I picked up these little Steve Madden delights:
A cute little mid-heel, adorable buttons, and some crinkled patent, definitely a recipe for shoe success! I love them, and they've become my go-to work shoes, and have been out for dinner with my man a few times. I like a mid-heel for date night, it's less over-the-top (no pun intended).
It was actually very fortunate that I found these babies, because my last pair of awesome black patent Mary Janes were on the verge of falling apart. They were a Payless find from when I was about 18, and I had walked practically walked through the heels. Here they are in fuschia, which was the colour I wanted to buy them in, but they didn't have my size...
See? Adorable in black and in colours. And, to drive the point home, I'm sure you remember the beautiful grey ones I got at Christmas and wrote about here.
Love those!
I will be headed to New York as of 4 this afternoon, and will therefore be MIA until the 10th. But, I promise there will be plenty of photos, stories and footwear upon my return. I'll be there for Fashion's Night Out, and you just know that's going to be a goldmine!
