…In which I compared Dsquared boots to Bugatti Veyron

Thanks to Jamie of Wardrobestories I mananged to hunt down these boots.

I love shoes, I really really do, and my obsession is akin to Pooh Bear’s with honey. But sometimes I wonder why this obsession continues, because buying a pair of outrageous shoes is rather like buying a Bugatti Veyron, incredible creation but utterly impractical for daily life. The fact that I lead a boring undergraduate lifestyle, not to mention not being able to drive, nor have champagne brunches every weekend, and visit the clubs once in a very blue moon (not my cup of tea, you see), limit the number of crazy shoes-legit occasions. Don’t get me wrong, I make every effort to bring down cost-per-use of each pair, but try as I might, some of my shoes sit in the cupboard like a hidden museum archive.

Perhaps one day my sensibility will grow, and I would be wearing Rick Owens’s comfortable wedges constantly. When that day comes, I’m guessing I will be offloading half of my collection. Who knows? If you’re a size 38, keep a lookout.
