				<description>&#060;p&#062;The important thing is that the shoes are great and that they are going to be worn a lot.

				<description>&#060;p&#062;This purchase was an all around win-win.  You are replacing two shoes with one.  They already sound like wardrobe workhorses.  And they look great, I can see these working well with your wardrobe.

				<description>&#060;p&#062;I LOVE the cut-outs on those shoes!  Just soooo cute!  It sounds to me Kate, like you are shopping very purposefully (which is one of my main goals for doing SYC right now!) and so its really OK to break SYC when you find something that fits into your wardrobe as perfectly as these shoes will!

				<description>&#060;p&#062;I was just looking at these little darlings a couple of days ago on Zappos and lamenting the fact that the heel is too high for me.&#060;br /&#062;
I will enjoy them through you!

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Much better than a plain brown shoe! Love those subtle metallic sheens. And I agree with Mellllls, they look great with your skinnies!

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Aida, yeah, they have &#034;dull sheen&#034; as my boyfriend so aptly put it.  They're kind of a metallic with a more matte finish, I guess.  I think it makes the more versatile, because they would be too flashy for my taste if they were really shiny and sparkly.

				<description>&#060;p&#062;As was documented here: &#060;a href=&#034;http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-the-limited-is-testing-my-syc&#034; rel=&#034;nofollow&#034;&#062;http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....ing-my-syc&#060;/a&#062; and also a bit here: &#060;a href=&#034;http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-whats-on-your-list-for-when-were-done&#034; rel=&#034;nofollow&#034;&#062;http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....-were-done&#060;/a&#062; , after 40 days of SYC and a full two months (plus change) of not shopping, I'm back in action.  Even before SYC I was focused on only buying things that were truly perfect for me (in color, fit, style, versatility, and cost per wear), and so I'm returning to that way of shopping.  SYC was easy for me when absolutely nothing in the stores was a color that worked for me, but since the colors I love have started returning to the stores I couldn't just watch those items slip away.&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;So now to the new shoes!  I had to buy these before they went out of stock at zappos (there are only 2 left in my size!!!): &#060;a href=&#034;http://www.zappos.com/product/7745456/color/200&#034; rel=&#034;nofollow&#034;&#062;http://www.zappos.com/product/7745456/color/200&#060;/a&#062;&#060;br /&#062;
I'll be wearing them to academic conferences and pretty much any other dressy event that comes along.  I love the versatility of the bronze color (and how it bookends with my hair), and how the straps keep the shoes securely on my feet since I do a lot of walking.  I also love that they're replacing two pairs of sub-par shoes: black pumps that wouldn't stay on my feet and some really uncomfortable brown flats (technically low heels) that always gave me blisters.  These are so much more better than the other two combined!
&#060;/p&#062;
