So I don't know if it was the Fendi Silvana color block handbag that started this, or my shoe heartbreak over the B Store boots, which were a lovely black and tan mix, but I am obsessed--OBSESSED--with two-tone shoes these days. Problem is, of course, nobody's making anything like it right now. I think last year it had a moment, and that moment is now gone, and nothing is available. The only proof that it existed are these photographic remnants (nothing available to actually, you know, buy):
And of course, my B Store beauties:
The two-tone thing seems to be mostly prevalent in men's shoes. Wolverine is offering this lovely wingtip boot that I also can't find anywhere:
The one place I'm kind of lucking out is on Etsy, where there are a bunch of vintage two tone roper boots on hand, like these:
Jeffrey Campbell offers up the Showpony:
But to me they just seem like a cheap imitation (even though they're way more expensive than the vintage boots).
Le sigh. It felt nice to write about it, since I can't have any of them. Yup, I am on a shoe moratorium. I simply can't afford my old shoe habit, and I really do have plenty--ridiculously so--of shoes.
In other news, my semester will be mostly wrapped up by next week, so you'll be hearing more from me soon...
