burlap. I know I didn't. But after writing my post about the Oxfords I found and then having my sense of fulfillment dashed by the discovery of those delicious heels from J. Crew, I found myself perusing the internet in the hopes that something, something, anything would assuage the agony of being unable to possess said shoes (can you tell I was also avoiding studying for my finals?).
But lo and behold! I found these.
Seychelles 'Keep Close' Booties
Where, you ask? On the website of my most beloved retailer, Anthropolgie. On sale. YES. So I got them, knowing that they would fit perfectly into my shoe collection, and in a way that a pair of Oxford high heels never would. What I most like about them, aside from the way they make my legs look, is how casual they manage to be in spite of their impressive height. I will gladly add an extra five minutes to my walk to class in order to break out these bad boys come spring. Which might be approaching (!).
