It’s a mad mad mad mad mad mad…er…men.
I bought too many pairs of shoes yesterday at Target. I know, I know - you’re thinking, “Is that even possible?”
I feel a little guilty about it. Particularly because I bought the same pair of shoes in three different colors. The thing is I haven’t bought any shoes since er…December or so (flip flops do not count) and these were from Target, as I mentioned in that sentence up there, so I’m pretty sure they don’t count either. Plus we had a gift card.
The thing with Target shoes is you have to be careful about the plastic-y leather ones which will bite your heels painfully because they are made entirely out of old, discarded Trapper Keepers. I was smart, though and went for the faux suede moccasins which are made entirely out of old, discarded um, moccasins. So soft. So moccasin-y.
I kind of have Back to School Fever and yes, I realize we still have a good month/month and a half of summer yet but if Delias.com says it’s fall and the Brass Plum says it’s fall then it is fucking fall already.
My God, I really am desperately holding onto my youth. I guess here is where I should tell you about the fringe-y boots I also got. I was in some kind of seventeen year old off to college frenzy. Obviously, at some point yesterday, I went back in time and thought these would come in handy for those early morning European History classes and post-dorm party dining commons trips.
When I asked Dane if these made me look like Pocahontas he said yes but only if he could be John Smith.
I’m not sure what he meant by that but I’m fairly certain it involves me reading a map while Dane smokes a peace pipe and looks down my deerskin shift dress. Or something. I never saw that movie. I did see Mulan, however, which I think is the same thing but with more war.
Okay, I’ve gone way off book here. Sorry, where was I?
Oh! It’s Mad Men night at the Hesselbees and I hope you all are coming. Please email me if you haven’t yet so that I can clean a small patch of the floor and/or steal furniture from the lobby for you to sit on. If need be, everyone can sit on my lap. And if that isn’t enough to entice you then I don’t know what is.
Moccasins!

Ooh, look at the dangly thing… your shoes are sneaky. They kind of crept up on me in that second photo… like nightmare fuel. Now all I can see when I close my eyes is the non-plastic-y-leather shoe - the green one and black one together, like some kind of hybrid demon bottle-green shoe trying to take over the world! and then they don’t and Sleeping Beauty never wakes up because she overdosed on prozac because the prince was actually Prince the singer and she didn’t know how to share him and happily ever after.
i bought too many pairs at target.com the other day…they have really good sale section. i got the same pair of flats in red and grey for 5 bucks!! they dont hurt . yet.
