...it's not dark yet, but it's gettin' there...
So I better make it good, huh?
I predicted the return of the peep-toe, I celebrated the year of the wedge heel, and I got completely blindsided by this season's gingham revival.
Combine all three fabulous trends and this is what you get.
For the girls, here's my recommendation for that upcoming Memorial Day barbecue or pool party, where you know you'll need to make an impression because he might be there.
Combine these wedges with some tailored shorts and sleeveless point collared blouse? I think so! To avoid the inevitable Mary-Ann comparisons, stay with solid colors. Re fabrics, linen adds class and you'll feel as cool as you look holding that fruity drink. Let your outfit do the flirting for you. I know you'll thank me when it's over.
Those are cute as hell.

Posted by: Mark on May. 2, 2007Any gal who could wear those shoes, could probably get her feet behind her ears, and that's a ten on the Casca Scale.
Posted by: Casca on May. 3, 2007Thanks,
I ordered three pair!
This is the part of you I will miss most.

Posted by: Leif on May. 3, 2007Nothing is wrong with red hair, people are just jealous.
Posted by: Scof on May. 3, 2007There are aspects of a woman's appearance that impress men: a good body, nice hair, stylish and matching clothes that show off her figure, nice skin, cute earrings, tasteful jewlery, tasteful makeup, lip gloss, sunglasses, etc. But shoes aren't one of them. Even those shoes, which are immediately pretty cool, would hardly get noticed. There is a market failure here; get nice shoes, but don't do it because *he* will be there. He won't notice, unless he's gay.
Posted by: Roach on May. 4, 2007Roach,
All the attributes you mention are important although not all of them to all men. But to say an appreciation of women’s shoes and their feet is only the domain of gay men is untrue.
I think you are missing out on something. I guess you never placed your lover’s feet arch to arch and had you way with them. Haven’t you ever had a set of cute red nailed toes in you mouth?
'Nam Warts, when you aren't sticking your own feet in there the only thing that has ever been in your mouth is man meat.
Roach is wrong though. Any sexual orientation can have a foot fetish. I know because I have seen it here before.

Posted by: Spanky on May. 4, 2007Roach is wrong. I'm not gay--and, for that matter, I don't have a foot fetish. But a really cute shoe is still a really cute shoe.
Besides, a woman likes it when a guy notices the things that matter to her.
Posted by: zombyboy on May. 5, 2007The best thing about espadrilles is you get all of the sexy with none of the slutty. And the gingham pattern immediately makes one think of either Mary Ann or a farmer's daughter. Great find, annika!
Posted by: Victor on May. 8, 2007thank you Victor! i ordered them, hopefully they'll arrive in time for graduation parties!
