Pinched to Death!

I wore these for the first time on Monday. My toes were pinched to death all day. They were on sale for only $6.00 at TJ Maxx. They were a steal. Anne Klein. Suede. Beautiful. They felt fine when I tried them in the store. They felt good for the first two hours I had them on. They pressure began to set in as I sat at my desk. Well, I did not have my trusty crocs with me to switch out, so I was in shoe hell for the afternoon. With each step I took to the fax or the copier, they seemed to shrink even more around my toes. I just hope that this is just the pain of breaking them in.

Suede is supposed to give, or so I thought. Maybe after 3 or 4 more wearings they will fit like a glove. I sure hope so. They are lovely shoes and will go with so many winter things.

What I do is kick them in the pants with a diamond buckled shoe!

My Beloved Bag

I know that my blog is about shoes, but what goes with shoes more than a nice purse. This was my Christmas gift to myself along with the matching wallet. I also got it at Parisians..not on sale of course. I have never seen a Brahmin bag on sale. I have carried this bag everyday since Christmas. I actually bought it in October and saved it for Christmas. That was some will power. It was also the first time ever plunking down about $600 for a purse and a wallet.

Brahmin Flower $395.00

I love it. All alligator, shiny and beautiful. I got the small wallet that matches it thinking I would be able to downsize to a smaller wallet. What was I thinking? I have to clean it out often it gets so jammed with receipts. This was the wallet I got to go with it. For the price I paid I will be carrying it all year with very little break. It is a classic so it goes with just about everything.

Brahmin Toasted almond Wallet: $175.00
