The Horror: Sock Sandals

By -
Most fashion rules have fallen by the wayside, but it's still not a good idea to wear tube socks with sandals. 80%20 must want to overthrow that rule, as their ankle cuff sandals remind of nothing more than socks. Horribly unflattering socks, no less. They'll keep your feet warm and give you cankles, yet the "Molly" peep toe wedge is sold out in several sizes. (Peep toe? Really?) Which is the worst offender, black, white or olive?

I've been glaring at this shoe ever since I saw it on Barefoottess.com, which means that if it weren't sold out in all sizes but 8, you could get it up to a size 14. What is the world coming to?

Retro Shoes

I love vintage shoes, but between the heavy wear and narrow fit, I have to indulge my wants with fabulous reproductions. Mary Janes, t-straps, peep toes, low heels. If it looks like it's from the 20s-50s, I'm there! I like to wear them with Victorian jewelry and funky outfit. How do you wear retro heels?

Metallic Shoes

Over a couple of fabulous martinis, becca and I were discussing how many people comment on our metallic shoes. (She has some gold heeled Frye booties and I have low heeled oxfords.) It's like they've never thought of gold or silver as belonging anywhere but on jewelry or a New Year's Eve dress. Not only do they snazz up an everyday jeans and tunic, but they can be used as party shoes too. (Yes, I would wear my oxfords to a party. I'm funky like that.) As you can see from my laments of craving below, metallics are my perfect shoe color.Top: silver cutout wedge, Jeffrey Campbell at Urban Outfitters $128 (Want!)
