  What are you wearing?
This weekend I found the mother lode shoe outlet in Cologne. Sometimes when I find a good outlet, I start to hyperventilate and have trouble focusing. Then I have to remind myself over and over "dont' be greedy" and try to decide on just one or two things. I was unsucessful. I blame K, who got bored and told me "Just get both and let's go!" So I ended up with these two, frighteningly similar shoes:

Adidas Superstar II with red stripe. The 80s hip hop shoe is back. Every time I look at my feet I think "You Be Illin'" (not sure why I don't hear "My ah-DIDAS," but memories are selective.) I did the mature thing and didn't get the ones with the green sparkle stripe, but the more adult subdued classic red. Long live Run DMC.

Adidas Mebourne blue stripe. Strikingly similar, aren't they? But this is the more sophisticated shoe. Ok don't ask me why the hell I bought these, I got greedy, I admit it.

So now I have new problem. Having spent my summer shoe allowance and bought one more pair than I should have and feeling bad, I wish I had a pair of navy blue Chucks. And Chucks aren't cheap. They look cheap, but deceptively expensive. Fingers crossed that as the summer goes on, I learn to love the Superstar and forget about my crush on Chuck. Otherwise I lay awake wallowing in my affluent guilt that my trendy shoes could feed a family of five for a month.

SO what are you wearing?!

i bought a pair of pale pink mary janes/sneakers at payless this weekend. i had to restrain myself from buying the brown and pink satin sneakers, which are totes adorable. i'm probably going to have to go back. i had forgotten how good the payless on columbia road can be, seeing as their regular clientele has very different taste than mine, so all the good shoes are still available in my size.

I tend to get cranky very easily. And I'm a BIG complainer. Consider yourself warned.
