New shoes Thursday
(I bought them in March, still haven’t made any *frivolous* purchases in April, thank you, just food and drugstore type items)
I was going to return them—even this morning I had decided to, and then said, screw it, I like ‘em. When I go broke I’ll eat ‘em.
Also pictured:
PS I tried on both pairs of shoes and I LOOOVE THEEEMMM! Cute and super comfy.
This is the first pair (in the grey, but it’s a dark charcoal color) but I really wanted these but they didn’t have my size in the black.
This is the second pair (in the brown/beige combo, I love that they have a little heel)
Of course I will probably still wear sneakers most days….
I’ve been so busy since I got back from work I totally forgot that I got two new pairs of shoes delivered today!!
(they’ll probably be horrible and I will probably send them back)
Look at these bad boys. On sale for $159, down from $355
Fluevog, why do you make me think I am fashionable and need these?
Wellllll it was a pretty big day here, I got shoes, boots, and Heft by Tumblr’s own Liz Moore!
I love the shoes but I am not so sure about the boots. They are beautiful and they are the right size but there is something about the way that they fit that doesn’t feel right. Like clown shoes or flippers or something. They are almost too flat. That was my first impression, I’ll try them on again and decide. I can send them back for a full refund and free shipping (the beauty of Shoebuy.com). I won’t be terribly heartbroken if I don’t keep them. (Therefore, maybe I should send them back anyway…)
But I’m very excited about Heft, Liz Moore’s 2nd novel. I read her first, The Words Of Every Song, last year and I liked it a lot. She’s posted 3 excerpts of Heft on her blog, but I didn’t read them. I didn’t need to be convinced to buy it, and wanted to save it all for when I sit down to read it. Currently I’m halfway through The Trial by Franz Kafka. It’s taken me nearly 3 weeks to get that far in a pretty easy to read book but for some reason I can’t read more than 10 pages before zonking out. So, I’m hoping the arrival of Heft will spur my reading on a little so I can get to it!
got me new ‘vogs today!!
I am thankful and happy.
and I also sent this from my phone a few hours ago so it will probably show up again in a few hours or days.
Fluevog Velazquez boots.
These are almost too awesome for words.
Entertaining myself this afternoon bringing many pairs of shoes upstairs and performing bits of “Shoes” by Kelly/Liam for my dog and myself.
Shoes.
These shoes rule.
These shoes SUCK.
FUCK YOOOOOOOU!
FUCK YOOOOOOU!

This post has been dedicated to non-Tumblr Leeeeeenda de la Luna. She knows what I’m talking about because she’s the one who first posted “Shoes”. Plus I think she may be the only person who reads this shit anymore.
I love both of these but I am leaning toward the blue/grey ones rather than the green/grey ones. Although Fluevogs are meant to be festive and fun and you don’t buy them for their ‘practical’ colors, I already have a pair of $200+ ‘vogs I don’t wear an awful lot (though I love em) and I think the blue/grey ones would be worn more often by yours truly*. Though I have always been a lover of green, green leather, etc.
*IF I decide to purchase these

I stumbled across a tumblr created by Tony Rego’s grandson. Here’s his description of the blog:
