After editing 100 of 237 footnotes and wading through the citation of 47 of 132 sources involved in my law journal comment, I deserve a break. A break to write a blog about shoes.
First, a simple question: Which pair cost $30 and which pair by a famous designer costs 4 times that?
...or... 
Answer: As the Suave commercial says, If you can't tell, why should I? But I own the cheap ones, and they are fabulous.
Another new pair that deserves its own introduction:
You may look at these 2 recent purchases and think, Misty, you already have 9 pairs of black heels. In a purely academic sense, that is true. But I did not have fabulous designer knock-off peep toe patent leather platforms, nor did I have black leather pointy toe sky-high stilettos. If you do not understand this fine, yet critical, distinction, you need to spend a lot more time reading my blog.
Up next: several more recent purchases, which were on clearance at Target, so I don't want to hear any financial lectures. The burgundy patent leather and suede pair are likely to go straight to shoe heaven--I wore them once and nearly died. If you doubt the pain they caused me, remember this is coming from a girl that routinely wears 4 inch heels without complaint.
And finally, a few pairs that have joined the pile in the corner to which I must say Goodbye, and which one day, when I have time, really will leave the corner and go somewhere productive like Goodwill. They served me well, but, the passion has died.
