I go through spells in my shopping, but this last weekend, I was shopping with kid and we stumbled upon a pair of shoes that I began to first like…and the like grew into full lust…..

This incredibly sexy and lovely Marc Fisher Peep Toe Pump.

Problem was, ti was only available in a size 7 1/2. I wear and 8 1/2. Kiddo, who wears an 8 to 8 1/2 managed to squeeze her foot into the floor sample…..just because it was so pretty - and then she told me I simply HAD to find them somewhere so that she could wear them around the house.

At 12, she doesn’t have a need to wear platform heels. but hit has never stopped her from slipping into my shoes when she had the urge. I did end up buying a pair of Bandalino sandals though…..

Then tonight, I happened by another Macy’s and went to see if they had the incredibly lovely Marc Fisher pump…but alas, they did not - except in a size 10.

I was incredibly bummed.  It’s been….oh….15 years….since I’ve had some black-and-white pumps - and it’s so nice to see them back in style.  But, of course, there was not a single one of the 4 black and white pumps in my size.

Then, when I was looking around and waiting while the salesman checked the back room, I saw these black patent mary-jane-ish peep toe pumps.  No, they aren’t black and white….but they are still just too cute for words.

So, they ended up finding a new home with ME instead of sitting all lonely in the stock room at Macy’s.

I honestly don’t know what is up with me, but I am finding a new appreciation for shoes.

I mean, let’s face it.  Overall in my wardrobe - both clothing and in shoes - I am a lover of the classics.  Lots of black and navy.  Lots of clean lines.  Lots of basic pumps.

But every once-in-a-while….I step outside my box.
