Funny how I find myself in love with you...

A few months ago, a blogger I follow posted a link to a funny little blog called, "My Wardrobe Today." At first, I was a little put off by the concept. How much vanity must one person possess to post a photo of her outfit and a detailed description of her make-up, every day? Of course, after reading her blog and loving EVERYTHING this woman puts on her body, I just adore her site. She has some of the best hair and these round apple cheeks are to die for!

Now, I've never considered myself a shoe hound, despite other comments to the fact, but I am crazy about these peep-toe pumps that she's always wearing.

They remind me of those 1920s classic movie star shoes worn by Lauren Bacall, Grace Kelly or even Gwen Stefani in the "It's My Life" video.

This week, during a foray into the mall (which I hate) I was in Macy's and spotted these little black and white beauties. My heart swelled, the music crescendoed and I fell in love...

And then I checked the price tag. 100 smackers for toe-peeping love.

Oh. Good. God.

It's difficult for a person who is already tight-fisted (me) to purchase anything at full price (shoes) let alone something that is certainly going to cause me pain (high heels). But I did stop and ponder it for just a moment.

I have to be honest with myself. If I'm going to spend that much money on shoes, it will be to buy the twin strap Mary Janes by Dr. Marten, which I will wear forever because that's how long those things last! Kathy Griffin is always wearing them on "My Life on the D-List," which just adds to my need to have them.

And when I'm feeling really frisky, maybe ... just maybe ... these patent-leather wedges from BCBGirls.

Now, if anyone were to say, offer to purchase these for me, in exchange for "favors," ... well, who knows what you might find in my closet next ...

Seriously? There are people who chronicle their every outfit, their make up, their accessories? Seriously? Ok, so I may have to bookmark that page....but seriously???
Cute shoes, but you're right. The MaryJane's are better.

Yes, she does. But she's so unpretentious and adorable, it's easy to like her site.

Those MJs just landed on my Christmas list!

Jenn, please don't leave your comments as "wife said." You're supposed to be "sister said." We're not married, remember?

I was flustered at the time...I had just viewed the latest Best Buys from Crate and Barrel and my mind went wondering...
