Several Days in the Making

I have been thinking about writing this post since Saturday, but each day something else has popped up that I wrote about instead.  Apparently our anniversary has yet to be recognized as a national holiday or the shoe calendar would have given us something better:

 

These look lie a woodshop project. Now, there's nothing wrong with experimental shoe projects in woodshop, but considering weekends only get 1 picture, I had to look at this incredibly boring shoe for my entire anniversary weekend.  (I know...don't you just feel sooo bad for me?)

 

 

 

I love these.  I love the bright (mostly) primary colors and the stitching and the general fun nature of this shoe.  Until I realized, wait, is that?  Yes, that is the heel.  That's not just some random empty plastic ribbon spool that they propped the shoe on for artistic purposes.  That's the heel.  And it is ugly.  I want to rip the sandal right off of that thing, and flatten the sandal into a flat.  Then I would be happy.  See how everything is all about me today?

 

 

This is today's shoe, and I like it.  It's from the same time period as the Turkish shoes I posted in a recent handbag post.  I don't like this one quite as well, but I still really like it.  Love the detailing.

 

So, that's one thing accomplished in a very long list of things I am currently behind on.
