I like the border print, but I think I'd like it better if they met at the waistline instead of being grounded at the waist and hem, respectively.

Good gravy! This green patent thing is everywhere all of a sudden. This is definitely a dressier take, and while I wouldn't necessarily shy away from buying* them for my own two tootsies, I wouldn't be able to hoof it to work in them everyday (or, like, ever). But they are awful pretty. *I'm talking at a majorly reduced, ebay-gold-ribbon-winner-purchase kind of way, not for $600. Heavens no!

So I'm all in love with Chie Mahara anyway, but these are so good they're tempting me away from my own [admittedly obsessively well defined] comfort zone. I'm not normally about such a pointy heel, but okay. And the wide vamp cut-off at the toe is too barbie-shoes for me, but what the hell! and t-straps do little (fine, they do nothing) to make my legs look less stumpy, but...but...Damn! These are super cuties.

Lovely shade of green, and the airy cotton-silk blend gives a sort of dreamy quality to those elbow-length poofy sleeves. Even the traditional collar looks good here, lets you dress it up or a little more casual.

I don't know for sure, but I think I might like this variant better than the t-bar sandal. The color, the peeptoe, the heel, the curly-q business are all big winners, so I guess you can't really go wrong with either one.

I'm so in love with the idea of grass-green patent leather shoes. It's the sort of thing that's very playful, but rooted in its own adulthood if for no other reason that it's too sophisticated for a child.

Oooh! More love from RoD! I'm all about the funk-factors here--the shapely vamp, the conical heel, the snub toe, the jagged heel counter--but I also love the black and green combo. Now if only the blasted u.s. dollar would eat its wheaties...

Love the green wool and velvet combo; this would be super easy, too. And dude! Wool-acrylic blend? Barf. What the hell is wrong with people. Two hundred bones for a skirt and you can't even give me 100% wool?

Would you look at this olive green funkiness? See, if more library employees wore stuff like this, we'd slowly edge out the old farts who populate the highest echelons. Guess they'll grey out eventually, 'cause my co-workers at least wouldn't know where to start.

Every time I see little strips of leather twisted one-half turn and secured at both ends, I always think of this pair of hot-pink-and-black L.A. Gears I had when I was in elementary school. This is a pretty far cry from those sneaks, but I guess it's nice to know I still draw some corollaries to my ten-year-old self now that I'm all up in my late twenties.
