Happy new year! Of course, we've been at oh-10 for a couple of weeks already, but I've been spending that time in and out of town (for friends and for the job), with a cold (for my head and my nose), shopping (mostly Salvation Army and shoe stores) and sleeping (for my body and my soul). I've made a pseudo-resolution to shop for clothes exclusively at Salvation Army for the month of January, both to save a few dollars and to challenge myself to buy only treasures I have plucked from racks of obscurity. So far, it's going well, and I have a much-complimented gray hat and some vests to show for it; however, I've strayed into an antique store with a few clothing racks, and I didn't limit myself on shoes. Hmm, convenient loophole I've left myself.
In accordance with my love of making lists, I thought I'd select my favorite shoe purchases of 2009. I did quite a good job of narrowing it down to just three:
most excellent stacked black heels, Irregular Choice
black Joelle boots, Coach (the result of a long "perfect black boot" search)
cutout gray & black oxfords, Jeffrey Campbell (these just barely made the cut--found them in Chicago on 12/30)
The neutrals were much needed. A new year, new shoes to come. For now, off to bed. Bon soir!
