I got my shoes today from Dillard's and they are the black ones, hooray!
I think I just called them yesterday, though, so now I think maybe they are going to send me a second pair, since this pair had to already have been on its way. I guess we'll see. If I do get a second pair, it's no big deal, since I think I'd like to duplicate them anyway.
My AK flats definitely aren't going to cut it as all day shoes for walking around campus when it's hot outside--my feet got really sweaty today and then they started rubbing pretty badly. I guess I'll pull them back out in October.
