Dearest brown leather shoes. All the brown flat leather shoes I own ... why do you have to fall apart on me? The pair above is on the fritz, the pair below is d-e-a-d. You're the only type of shoes I want to wear. And I can't find anything to replace you with.
My heart is breaking for the next four months, now that summer is here....
(does anyone know of any stores that have similar pairs? I don't care how much they are - if they'll last me, I'll pay a pretty penny!)
SERIOUSLY.
ReplyDeleteI've been looking for brown t-straps and just brown flat sandal-y type shoes forever now.
I usually have boxes and boxes of shoes sitting around waiting to go into the store. I'll check to see what I have. What size do you wear?

sally jane: ah! you're amazing! I'm an 8.5/9
ReplyDeletebeth: thanks for the reminder! I seem to always forget that Urban Outfitters carries good shoes!
I can never find them. : ( I've always been envious of yours!
ReplyDeleteP.S. Check your flickr mail :)
oh, that is horrible to hear. i just bought the urban outfitters pair because none of the surrounding thrift stores have the woven flats. UO was close enough, plus i work there!
ReplyDeletethose t-straps! Oh my!
ReplyDeleteI feel for you :(
oh i love your skirt. i guess it's vintage.
ReplyDeleteoh dear! that first pair is my favorite! they first made me cry because they were not on my feet. now i cry with you for no one can. great shoes can be very hard to come by.
ReplyDeleteArgh... everything I have right now seems to be an 8 and with vintage sizing running small I'm afraid they wouldn't do. If I find anything promising I'll let you know. :)
