It's about eight billion degrees out right now (read: 95º but when you live in Maine that's nearly apocalyptic) and I have no energy or brain power to do anything but drink water and gaze dazedly at the computer screen, so here's a post about... yes... shoes.
Not just any shoes, mind.
Steve Madden high-heeled oxford shoes.
I KNOW.
I'd been looking for cheap oxfords for a while, but all the nice leather ones I found were way expensive and I am way a cheapskate.
Plus, I am definitely a high-heels girl. I'm not short (not very tall either, at 5'7") but I dislike flat shoes.
So when I found these babies at a thrift shop in Camden with Emily, I pretty much had a coronary.
Plus, they fit. They were a little small but since they're leather they stretched to fit my feet quite nicely.
If I died right now, these would be the only things I'd want to take with me.
See for yourself. I left them unedited.
Are they not amazing? They can be boho or glam or dressy or casual. Flipping out.
Oh yeah, and Taylor Swift wore them. And looked adorable. I found that out when I googled them to see how much they cost initially. ($50, not bad.) I'm not a country music person, but she is adorable and I love her fashion sense. Plus, you know, there was this. Kind of hard to hate her, she was so nice. She's on Teen Vogue's August cover, so my mom and I got all excited. Very cute editorial too.
oh, i LOVE these shoes! i just have to get some.
ReplyDeletethey are so scrumptiously delicious.
awww, Taylor Swift is so cute. whenever i watch the music video Mine, i always think of you (and look for you in the video)!
It's sort of Victorian/Moder style.
ReplyDeleteI have the flat one from it.
CUTE! I wanna pair :) I've been trying to keep an eye out :) F21 has so that look just like it :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great thrift find!
ahh, if only I was three and a half sizes smaller...
ReplyDeleteOh gosh! Lucky you! They're soooo nice. Kinda dealing with some jealousy over here.
ReplyDeleteThose are adorable! LOVE!
ReplyDeleteDUDE!! I saw the exact same shoe at Forever 21!! But I couldn't fit it because I wear 11's and they only go up to 10's. Boy, do I wish I was you. I also wish I had money. The typical teenage phrase. Anyway, I think I'm going to go sell some cake :))

Those shoes are awesome! Congrats! And, yeah, 95 degrees? Completely normal weather here, from pretty much March to October. :P
ReplyDeleteYeah, Forever 21 has some knockoffs... knockoffs make me sad.
ReplyDeleteWeather update, it's now 104º, kill me now.
Oh my gosh, they're so cute!!!! I'm in love with those adorable shoes! =) I now need a pair. Urgently.
ReplyDeleteOh, they're so beautiful! I want a pair... It's 105 degrees here, I haven't stepped out all day. :)
ReplyDeleteAbout the weather--I totally know what you're saying! Our county fair was this week (state fair for my photography *yay*!) and the awards day and the rodeo were both on the two hottest days this week. It was absolutely gross.
ReplyDeleteSo I know I already raved about your shoes a few days ago...but I'm still swooning. And a bit envious.
ReplyDeleteOh gracious me of my, what I would do to have those shoes..... They're awesome!! So jealous.
ReplyDeleteO...M... G!!! I LOVE THEM!! :))
ReplyDeleteAHH! Shoes. So. Pretty. Hey, um...because you are super nice, you don't suppose...you could...give em' to me????? (Joke) ;)
ReplyDeletelove the shoes!

LOOOOOOOVE these!! :D
ReplyDeleteThose shoes are too cute : )
ReplyDeleteWhat size shoes are you? I have extremely huge feet for a girl, and don't enjoy it much : ( I've always wished for smaller feet!
There's a beautiful baby blue pair like this in Office right now. £35... But I'm holding out to find the same lucky find as you.
ReplyDeleteHigh-heeled Oxfords! How I wish I had a pair!
ReplyDelete@Katie: Not a chance! :)
ReplyDelete@Holly: These are 7s, I'm usual a 7.5 for heels and an 8 for flat shoes, 8.5 for sneakers.
My feet are kind of strange. They're not very large, but very wide. This limits my heel-wearing to only those with sides.
*swoon* those are gorgeous!!!! Great find Olivia :)

It has been so hot out where I live too! I tried to stay in the a/c as much as I could because it was so miserable to go outside!
ReplyDeleteadorable!
ReplyDeleteOh, their beautiful!! *sigh* Can I have them? :)
ReplyDeleteI like some of Taylor Swift's music, but her voice is pretty high-pitched. I only like certain artist's country music, such as Carrie Underwood. :)

ohmygoodness, that is a STEAL! yay for thrift stores!!
ReplyDeleteI have some shoes similar to these and LOVE them :) They're almost too pretty to wear.
ReplyDeleteOlivia,
ReplyDeleteAMAZING! I'm getting me a pair of those as soon as I get money!!! Arrrghhh...
Anyhoo, you should do an outfit post with you wearing your new amazing Oxfords. Oh ya. :)
Love,
Manda
You have a nice foot size! I actually have narrow feet. My sister has wide feet like you though.
ReplyDeleteThat would be a pain for you!
Oh! I was getting hopeful. (joke) ;)
