Shoes that I need.

I've discovered shoes hardcore. These have become a need. I don't know what my shoe thing is lately. I can only hope it runs its course before I lose all my money. Which is so far not much since I'm spoiled but that won't be forever. Eventually people will tell me to buy my own damned shoes. They'll refuse to be enablers and pretty soon I'll be living behind a Payless, licking the windows and hoping someone tosses out a pair of Crocs (its funny because they're hideous). So yeah. There goes the neighborhood.

Ed Hardy by Christian Audigier Snowblazers. Probably completely typical when it comes to fashion but I want a pair. I don't have the money to get my sleeve started on so I might as well deck my calves out in tattoo based boots. On some other blog they were calling these shoes horrible and made ridiculous references to Brett Michaels. There is nothing Brett Michaels about these shoes. Obviously the author of the Blog-That-Shall-Not-Be-Named doesn't know enough awesome old men or walked into enough tattoo parlors to see these designs being used. Yes, yes, they're overused tattoo designs. They're the sort you see on young guys and think "dumbass" but see on seventy year old bikers and think "kickass". Perhaps that's why these shoes seem to inspire feeling of love or hate.

For me, its obviously love. These shoes remind me of the cool old guys I've met throughout my life. They remind me of parlors, where I feel comfortable at. And they're awesome. I'm not sure about the weather resistance of these boots but I'd be more than willing to try them out. After all they're flat soled and furry on the inside. However, it could be misleading. No promises in how they may hold up to Minnesotan winters.

Steve Madden shoes are some of my favorites ever. And now they come in bright, screaming yellow suede. I'm not sure if it could be more self-explanatory than that. Bright. Yellow. I've always wanted a pair of bright yellow shoes. I'm not sure what sparked this urge. I think it may have started with my rainboot obsession. You see bright yellow far more commonly in rainboots than you do in pumps. They're not rubbery in any way, another bonus. They're the perfect pair of shoes to make a certain outfit pop. I would totally be "that" girl and walk into a meeting of sorts in some blah black suit with freaking yellow shoes. In fact, I need to find something official to go to so that I can do it. Its something I must do. And if I can't do it, I'm going to do my damned best to find someone else to coerce into it. I love these shoes. I've never really owned anything that I considered a statement piece. Its pretty much the same old, same old. But I would consider these pretty close to being a statement piece.

Need. Not want...need those shoes.
