They have them in pink? \<_gulp_\> Do you think you can go to hell for buying 3 pairs of shoes in one day, 'cus the pink ones would go great with the cashmere sweater I just ordered from J. Crew… Damn the changing seasons! Damn them straight to heck! ---

To paraphrase Hank Hill: If I spent $228 on a pair of shoes, they would have to be an everlasting pair of shoes. Oh, and actually comfortable. ---

They were so comfortable for a high heel and I’m really liking the moc trend. I don’t know why I didn’t buy 'em. (it was probably the friends I was with who were mocking my shoe thing. I did wind up buying [these](http://www.zappos.com/n/p/dp/6612479/c/80.html) which are great for clubbing and are such cheesy Barbie shoes and some inexpensive lower heeled round toed [pumps](http://www.rampage.com/items.asp?deptid=2&itemid=7982) for work.) Maybe the DSW here will still have 'em. ---

tremorviolet, I like those shoes a lot; they’re very tailored. They are quite similar to a pair of Ralph Lauren shoes I own. ---

My usual heels tend to be a bit much sometimes. I am so ready to start wearing fall clothes but it’s still a hundred here. I won’t be wearing sweaters until November… ---

> [@tremorviolet](#): > > I am so ready to start wearing fall clothes but it’s still a hundred here. I won’t be wearing sweaters until November… That happens to me every year! I like fall/winter clothes better than spring/summer, so I’m always anxious to start wearing them. Nothing looks stupider than sweating your boobs off in a cashmere sweater in the middle of September when the daytime high is 28 degrees C - it was 4 when I left for work -honest! 🙂 ---

Here’s a [pic of them](http://couture.zappos.com/n/p/dp/2861263/c/8714.html), tremorviolet. I do need another pair of grey shoes, though, so yours are mighty tempting… ---

I do need another pair of grey shoes, though, so yours are mighty tempting… Those are great, I really like the heel. Urgh, I usually just keep an eye out for cheap knock-offs of the designer shoes I covet. But this year I’m seeing all these great designer shoes I’m in love with (I’ve wanted [these](http://store.nordstrom.com/product/product.asp?StyleID=2860742&Category=2376778%7E2372808%7E2372940%7E2376188&ProductFinder=True&pfindid=13) for forever but I’ve never paid that much for shoes). I just have to remind myself to be patient and eventually the knock-offs will make it to the stores… ---

Ooooh **Tremorviolet** …I LOVE those! What size do you wear? Maybe we can co-invest 😛 . You’ve all gotten me to start looking at shoes! (More in my price range, of course). Some ones that I am liking: [The tan and the pink ones could both be cute](http://www.chineselaundry.com/indShoe.asp?id=2032&sess=08060528695278943) [I could see the green with some dark jeans and a cute top](http://www.chineselaundry.com/indShoe.asp?id=2115&sess=08060528695278943) I should mention that most of my shoes are pretty conservative (simple black and such), but it’s nice to have some crazy heels to dress up an outfit. ---

> [@AHunter3](#): > > Hell, for that much money, you could’ve gotten yourself some [real footwear](http://www.rei.com/product/47575413.htm)! Actually - I prefer my [Asolo’s](http://www.asolo.com/content.asp?L=3&idMen=263) for that particular type of footwear. Perhaps you’d like to compair ski boots as well - personally I prefer [Rossignol’s](http://www.altrec.com/shop/detail/18393/RSS/), but I probably wouldn’t wear them to my office. Should I look up my rock climbing shoes, soccer cleats, and runners as well, or are we done with this sporting interlude? ---

There is nothing wrong with that. Back when I used to be a clothes horse, I would ABSOLUTELy buy a pair of shoes, and then go looking for an outfit to go with them. Clothes are so fun.
