I just bought a pair of grey flat oxfords with a lime green sole, and a pair of pointy toed, kitten heel black patent pumps (here's my thread I just posted about them http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....-shoes-x-2). I wouldn't mind either a pair of pointy toed animal print flats or a pair of peep toe booties to round out the spring footwear.

More boots.

Refined footwear has little place in my wardrobe weather-wise and style-wise. But I am admiring them on everyone else. I have three months before sandals are even possible!

Una, to clarify, ANY type of shoe has its refined version - which includes sneakers, boots, shooties, oxfords, and booties. I feel it's important that you understand this concept. Refined footwear does not boil down to a pair of dainty white stilettos. In fact, I have noticed that your own taste in shoes is refining - just to confuse you even more :). I hope that makes sense, Una. Give me a shout if you think I'm making about as much sense as donkeys that fly.
