look what i bought!
dear god, i hope that uploading pictures is as easy as it seemed and that y'all can see this picture.
and here is what i have to say about these shoes--
so as i was at rack room shoes, looking for shoes for everyday use, i came across these. dear god, they're amazing. i figure that i went thru a phase of getting rid of all my costume clothes for theme parties. having come to law school, i am back in the reaccummulating phase. i don't know for how many years we will still be attending 80s parties, but i've got at least two years left and there are some great things out there to be purchased. (earlier this year, lexi and i bought maroon lace skirts. they are hideous. they were $1.50. they should not be worn for anything but a costume event. the best part about this is that the woman who works there told us on both the scouting mission and the purchasing mission that she owned the skirt in every color. we were willing to let this slide the first time, b/c we thought maybe she was trying to make us not feel like freakish losers buying this skirt. i was completely unwilling to let it slide the second time and now i like to make fun of her whenever possible.)
anyways, that is all related to the story i was signing on to tell, but is not the story i was going to tell. so back to the shoes.
the thing about these shoes is that you really can't figure out if they were made in 1983 and they are still trying to sell them, or (and this is far more likely) some moron designed them and is trying to sell them this year. but maybe he's not a moron. maybe he's a genius b/c he knows that we are still attending 80s parties and someone has to make hideous shoes for such occassions. incidentally, there were only 3 pairs left in black. so they are selling. i had to get them about 2 sizes too big, but i figure this is OK b/c that way i can wear socks with them. maybe even two pairs of mismatching socks.
anyways, i think they were a wise investment.

Hahahahaha, those shoes are great!! BTW, I stil lhave not figured out how to post pictures with ease. Sigh. I'm an inferior blogger.
Anyhoo, I am filled with a sudden desire to go out and buy those shoes, however, I will not because I already have the same hideous skirt as you and to have the same hideous shoes would be too much. We can't be 80s twins. Ergo, I will have to find another pair of shoes.
Man, I never thought I'd have a need for so much hideous clothing. What will I do with it when we graduate. I'm already looking at my Foxfield outfit with regret. Why oh why did I spend good money on that!
you spent like $12 on it and it was totally worth it.
these shoes are $7.50. they are far less worth it. if you want them, go buy them. they only remain in 7 and 8.5. or in white, which are not quite as hideous, yet simultaneously far more hideous.
i can show you the pictures. it's very easy.
