fakey fake...

I'm pretty much incapable of setting foot out the door without spending money. Especially when I venture downtown, which is perilously close to temptations like Zara and Forever 21. It always starts with an inner monologue in which I try to tell myself that I'll only be "window shopping." Of course, next thing I know I'm marching home (only mildly remorseful) with a pair of THE Alex Wang Forever 21 knockoffs. Now before you chastise me, even I can admit that 1. I don't need these, 2. they could rightfully be called ugly, and 3. they make my fat big toe look even fattier. And yet, I don't care. And Rumi was right, they are shockingly comfortable.

Oh, and thanks for all the input on the last post. I ended up going with a slightly altered version of outfit #1, as shown below:

And yeah, I'm on the phone in that pic. My mom called after I'd set the self-timer and I didn't have time to redo it. Not very artistic. Oh well, we'll call it an 'action shot.'

Now for a serious philosophical question: should I keep the shoes?

  1. I say keep them!!! They are killer and look great on you! And if they're comfy, that's just a bonus :) I can't stop looking at them!

  3. I don't know why you think you don't have the balls to wear that outside of the house- you look freaking fantastic. Keep the shoes.

  5. Lol, I like the 'action shot'.

    Those shoes are growing on me too, the more I see them in blogs. At first, I was apalled at the horrid fringe but now it looks funky and you don't noticed the fringe so much.

    They make your legs look hot as well!

  6. I think you should keep the shoes...they can't be that expensive right? I have a problem not getting anything when I go shopping. I will try things on but totally psych myself out of it.
