woot.

today, on a whim, i swung into a shoe store on belmont avenue to peruse the shelves for brown sandals. the last shoes i saw - literally - were the ones for which i've been searching. strappy - check. not a four-inch heel - check. not a wedge - check. twenty dollars? check out counter, here i come.

these are them, except mine have tan straps.



hooray, no? and yeah, they are cheap, too cheap, but even if i get half a dozen wears out of them before they fall apart, i'll have gotten my money's worth.

little rationalizations are the key to life.

tomorrow, i will get back to my regularly scheduled programming of patriarchy blaming and half-assed society skewering. the crucial difference will be, i'll finally have on some cute shoes as i do it.

Very cute! Glad I'm not the only one out there looking for non-wedge non-four-inch-heel sandals! :)

karen, i think, after trying them on in the store and taking a spin, i will be o.k. there is always the danger of The Blister - i managed to get three from my new pair of black flats the other week! - but unless you're wearing four inch stilettos and know you're asking for trouble, it's a gamble.

so, we'll see...
