And so it is with the the two pairs of brogues I bought at the start of last year. You see, not only do I have an unntaural love for the brogue, these brogues were not simply shoes - they kind of became a part of me. Wherever I went this past year on my feet would be gold or black brogue beauty. I've worn them to the point that the bottoms are thinner than the finest of cottons. They are no longer wearable by a sensible person. Key word - sensible.
Which is why I've spent the last month searching desperately for the perfect pair of brogue-replacement brogues. The black ones are kind of covered - my new work shoes are somewhat brogue-like. But they're also a shade on the boring side, unlike these pretties, which I think even Wabi could warm to:

To be honest, I've always wanted a pair like this:

But then tonight I found these:

Am I crazy, or does everyone has an obsession like my shoe-insanity?
I do like the top pair, in spite of my general disdain for the brogue. Have you looked at www.asos.com? Reasonably priced; free shipping.
ReplyDeleteWhere do you find such joy?! I can't see any shoes I like, but so many other pretty things!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'm glad you liked the top ones, they reminded me of you :0)
I'm not that insane about shoes but I do love them....what I am insane about is clothes. I've lived in like, 8 countries or something and do not own anything assets, not a house, not a car. All I have is clothes, a lot of clothes. I hate to think how much I have spent shipping clothes from place to place...
ReplyDeleteI wish I had more clothes, although I can't imgine having to ship them anywhere because I'm aweful at packing! I have a lot, but every time I open the closet to get dressed I can't seem to find antyhing to wear. Do you have that problem too?
