So my heart is breaking.
I went to Nordstrom Rack on my lunch break before returning to Nassau Family Court. Let me tell you, the court closes from noon to 2:00 daily, leaving ample time for a good meal and some serious shopping. If I worked here full time I would be in big trouble. So while I was cruising the shoes I came to a screeching halt, spinning around, sustaining a minor case of whiplash for the most beautiful pair of Steve Madden sandals.
Royal blue suede, peppered with shining gold grommets, and featuring an open toe with an inch and a half platform, and an elastic slingback.. And I kid you not, they were insanely comfortable. At $65.00 they were probably a steal, but unless I planned on stealing (which I would never) I sadly had to leave them behind. Of course, I walked up and down the aisle for a good 20 minutes before returning them to their box and hiding them in the back of the rack.
It's unfortunate but simply impractical to buy shoes like these that I could neither wear to court nor to school. So sad.
On a lighter note, the black open toe pumps that you see discarded on the floor are the most comfortable shoes I own. They are also from Nordstrom Rack, and are over two years old.. heels still intact. The important thing to notice is that the peep toe is extended toward the end of the shoe, rather than starting up higher. This makes for a more professional look, with much less visible toenail (you all know how I feel about toenails).
And I suppose I should mention the pink, salmon and gold skirt in my hand behind the blue shoes went home with me.. stay tuned.. you will meet it in a later post, somewhere around the first day of school. OXO
