Baby it's cold outside but it's summer in my apartment
Posted on 04:54 by kumar
Minus ... twenty ... five ... degrees C with the wind chill this morning, on Blue Monday, what the radio announcer has just told me is the most depressing day of the year for peeps in this part of the world. My tootsies may be numb when I step outside soon, but in my sauna-like apartment this morning they're as snug as can be - in these thrifted Italian shoes I picked up at Value Village the other day for $12.99.
They're in such good condition that there's still a sticker on the bottom. My trusted thrifting eye didn't mislead me: the shoes are by Aquatalia - ie: handmade in Italy with the best leather and suede, so the website says. I could tell the quality was impeccable when I tried these on in VV: all leather sole, upper and straps; straps that flex when you wear them; cushy, comfy upper; thick yet stylish heel - perfect for summer frolicking!
May have to give my white legs a faux tan and have a little summer party in my apartment. To get rid of those Blue Monday blahs. In the meantime, stay warm out there.
