So, I Zappo’d myself a new pair of shoes. [http://www.zappos.com/n/p/dp/30949501/c/325.html](http://www.zappos.com/n/p/dp/30949501/c/325.html) I love them! They make me want to go turn a trick and then kick the crap out of him afterward! The emotional dichotomy is kinda freaking me out! Anyone else got some new kicks? ---

Cute! I got some new boots too - they end just below my knees. Too bad I can’t wear them to work. ---

Cute! I ordered [these](http://www.zappos.com/n/p/dp/22493217/c/396.html) from Zappos last week, but I didn’t like them nearly as much in person, so I’m sending them back. ---

Mine are cute in person but they’re too big. ☹ They didn’t have the next 1/2 size down. I may have to send them back. I was surprised that the weathered look of the leather is really a dry-brush gold color. They look pretty cool! ---

Oooh I like those, **Kalhoun**. I just got two pair of [these](http://www.zappos.com/n/p/dp/28937739/c/72.html), in brown and in black. Nothing fancy, just general heels to get me through a few years. I luurrrrve them. I am pining for a new pair of boots but I can’t justify it right now. ---

Those are cute - except the heel is too high. ☹ If I wear anything but flats or very very very low heel, my feet will hurt and I will twist my ankle. ---

Even the Aerosoles started to kill me last week, but I was also walking around far more than is normal. I’ve got some 4" black patent dragonlady shoes at home though, for those days when I want to look super mean. Oh! I got some cute ballet flats last week (on sale for $10!). No picture though, I just grabbed 'em from a boutique by school. They’re black with little sparkly stars on them. I think I may have an addiction. ---

I got used to it because I wore high heels every day, but I’d occasionally see a woman limping through the atrium, and I’d think to myself, “newbie.” It’s a killer if you have a lot of walking to do. I never wear flats. Except gym shoes. ---

I can’t find a picture online at all, but I bought some really nice ankle boots in this wine colour that’s so dark. I usually buy black (force of habit, goes with anything and I’m not much of a clothes horse) but they had only the wine left in my size. I love them. Especially since I needed a new pair as my other pair is almost 10 years old and should probably be retired. ---

Oooh, shoes! Those are some kickin’ boots, **Kalhoun**. Since I’m going to Europe on Tuesday, and need new walking shoes to wear in Europe, I bought [these](http://www.aldoshoes.com/eng/storeSection/redirect.cfm?sectionID=b2c/style/productDetails.cfm&itemID=66646111&&var=d&ckey=US&colorid=22), which are really comfortable and look smashing with flare-leg jeans. Did I mention I’m going to Europe? 😃 [sub]Forgive me. I’m very excited. I haven’t been overseas in over 20 years and have never been to the countries I’m going to. It’s made me quite tiresome: “I’ll have a side salad and a large Diet Coke and did I mention I’m going to Europe next week?”[/sub] ---

I bought [these](http://www.zappos.com/n/p/p/7383224/c/3.html) last Friday to wear out Saturday night. Wearing them right now. I like them. Just a nice basic black heel. (Because, apparently, I don’t have enough of those! :P) But it’s boot season and I couldn’t resist ordering [these](http://www.zappos.com/n/p/dp/16909553/c/1538/g/women/s/7.html). I think they’ll look pretty hot with a nice pair of jeans. ---

They look good with jeans or pants or with a skirt ---

I just got [these](http://www.rideicon.com/product_details.jsp?category=1240&id=5821) boots and [this](http://www.rideicon.com/product_details.jsp?category=1237&id=5817) jacket to ride in the boyfriend’s sidecar. (I spent a lot less than that, though!) They are so awesome and they make me feel like a superhero. A post-apocalyptic superhero. Possibly of steampunk origins. ---

Those are adorable! If I tried to wear something like that, I’d be the sexiest woman in the ER. I got [these](http://www.shoebuy.com/life-stride-storm/212495/463569) yesterday. Best of all, I saved 40% with coupon codes and cash back. ---
