I saw these shoes in a shop window a month or so ago, and they looked so cute. then I saw them on the street, on a real person, and they were even cuter. So I went into the shop (Prada, a place where I don’t remember ever going into before — what would be the point?), took this surreptitious picture, and am now posting it. I would link to them but I can’t find an online seller.
They caught my eye, of course, because they are RICK-RACK SANDALS, and as such, absolutely gorgeous. They’re also $495, which puts them way out of my budget (that is, if my budget were at the Equator, this pair of shoes would be at Alpha Centauri) which is sad.
My hope is that I can outlast everyone else — in six months, these shoes will be “so last-season,” whereas my love for rick-rack knows no season. There will be pairs going begging, and I will snap them up, preferably on eBay. At least, that’s my fantasy.
There’s also a high-heel version, but I didn’t bother taking a picture of those. (I was terrified of the salesladies, frankly.)
(If you look at the reflection in the chrome edging of the table, you can see my stripey seersucker dress. I’ll try and post about that dress towards the end of the week.)
