FOR RENT: MY SHOES, WOMEN SIZE 7.5-8
I can never give away shoes. Why should I? My foot size hasn't changed in 20 years. Plus, these shoes represent part of the History of Me. But I am happy to rent them out. Relax and peruse my virtual closet.
Designer: Gapelle. If you love Twiggy, you'll love these Open-Toed Mules. Yellow and White Daisy Embossed Fabric, purchased on King's Road, London, circa 1996. The look is all 1960's though. Worn only twice while I was planting daisies on my terrace in my bikini thong. (Thong not included. It ended up where all thongs end up. Ouch!) Yellow and white nail polish mandatory!
Designer: Dollhouse. How can you go wrong with this name? I love dolls and I love these shoes! Envision pale, pink leather with tiny, pink and lime green beads. These precious Mules have a strap over the instep and a heel that looks like an upside-down dollop of whipped cream.
Designer: Seychelles. I've been to the Seychelle Islands, so obviously I had to purchase these. They are souped-up Mary Janes. While she was designing them, I think the designer had a few hits off her mary jane cigarette. They are patent leather, luminescent aquamarine with several layers of ecru stitching. For breathability, they have three peek-a-boo holes and a bow. Yeah, for real!
Designer: Kenneth Cole. Black patent leather Mary Janes with a silver buckle. "Wake me up before 'ya go, Girl!" Boring basics are a necessity at times!
Designer: Unisa. Roman-style, lace-up sandals, reminiscent of ones I had in 6th grade! Picture a flat, wooden sole with burlap to support the heel and a thick burlap strap over the toes. Strap is ensconced with fake puca shells and gemstones. Don't forget to strap these bad boy leather laces up to the knee! So appropriate if you're drinking rum punches on the Jolly Roger party boat in the Bahamas. I promise!
Designer: Stuart Weitzman. See, I do have some taste, despite the Roman sandals! True FM Sling Backs. If you don't know what FM stands for, then FU and quit reading my Blog! Four-inch heels that replicate daggers. Black fishnet body stocking not included!
Designer: Point. "I Dream of Jeannie" Slippers. The sultry teal raw silk is sprinkled with translucent red and purple beading. Slide into these, smoke a hookah, and drink coffee thicker than chocolate pudding. You'll think you're in Casablanca. Hello, Humphrey Bogart!
Designer: Pineda Colvalin. Three-inch slick black heel. Oaxaca-style animal stitching in various colors on these blood-red silk pointed Mules, purchased in Cancun. Matching purse. Who am I kidding? I'm not letting these out of my sight!
Maker: Rockport. Never worn (but 10 years old). Ox blood traditional preppy Loafers. For my Connecticut friends. You know who you are.
Designer: Dr. Scholl's. Oops! I mean Chocolat Blu. Merlot colored Boots with matching corduroy stitched interior and a petite buckle pocket on the side. Too small for a cell phone, but for the active dating girl, perhaps she could store something in here.
Obviously, these aren't all my shoes. Just the ones I can easily describe! Next time, I'll simply post photos, but where's the fun in that?
Is J. Peterman looking for copywriters for his catalog?
