Brooklyn, sometimes posting reveals my own thoughts about a thing. I thought these looked pretty ok when I put this up. I kinda thought responses would be a ton of enablers. Instead, comments seem pretty divided. What I’m feeling in my gut is wanting to defend these shoes, but there is nothing worse than a purchase going straight into the closet and not being seen for years.
Kathie, Rachylou, Angie, Joy, and Tina’s comments on the heavy, dark look and unembellished leather make sense. Lurking quirk can be hard to find, and sometimes hard to photograph. Indigoprint describes the balance I’m looking for well.
I think I need to do a session trying on outfits I think I’ll wear them with, like Sarah, Kkards, and Star suggest. I’ll include some new ideas from the great inspo Nikki posted for me. I do think the summer skirt and bare legs might be throwing people off, as Sal suggests. I’m thinking of my Pendleton watch plaid pants, among other things, roughly along the lines Roxanna describes.
I don’t remember when they were delivered, but I placed the yoox order June 8, so should have time after my trip, returning Sept 15, but just barely. It would be better if I could do the session and get the post up before we leave, but I’ll have to see how my time goes.
