Tassels that Rock

Sometimes all an outfit needs to take it from good to awesome is a pair of tassels strapped onto your loafers, provided, you know, they're astronaut-chic, metallic in all their glory and get the opportunity to have an unusual meta-experience, when a photograph of them being photographed is...photographed. World, be reacquainted with Chuck's hasselblad. I suppose the meta-experience isn't necessarily obligatory.
 I call this one, "they pinch ma'feet, but I love them." Guess what TV show that quote hails from and you may or may not win the feet pinchers, I'll disclaim this though and let you know I am leaning heavily toward may not though...
t shirt: Rodarte, necklace: DANNIJO
And alas, the details from up top. There's just something so special about the way big chunky crystal fancy-pant necklaces sit on and compliments a plaid gray t-shirt, whether there's a prom reference on said shirt or not. It may even drop from the same school of thought that preaches the combination of evening gowns and leather jackets. Or, you know, sequined pants and tap shoes. Though I think the latter is more about me having been a gay man in another life. Whatever, ultimately, readers, I apologize, the resurgence of trend stories will have to wait. This is just an outfit post.
But hey! In case you hate me, at least you can marvel in this. If ain't the clothes doing the repelling...maybe, just maybe, it's the face. Or knees, throwing that out there too. Fine, JK, I have a man friend. He drinks the drop crotch kool-aid. So?

  1. Sounds pretty Carrie Bradshaw to me. Those shoes are killer. And if SATC were still on, I think Carrie would be prancing around in them.

  3. carrie bradshaw can be super annoying (especially about scrunchies) but she speaks the truth. beauty > pain.

    seriously though, those a wang shoes (haha) are stunning.

  4. Some people just don't understand the whole "who cares if my feet hurt—they look so pretty!" But we do. And so does Carrie Bradshaw.

    Lovely shoes. And I always love the mixing of tshirt and fancy jewelry.

  6. Hmmmmm....who said that quote....I think it was Cora from the movie "Frankie and Johnny" (1991) "These shoes are cute, but pinch (kill) feet" ....hope I'm right.

  8. love that episode on satc. the one where carrie half walks and rides the bus with her strappy sandals to charolotte's house all the way uptown to bitch at her for not offering to lend carrie money in her time of financial crisis.

  11. Yea, I have them in black and they are UNBEARABLE! Like even sitting down at a dinner table, they hurt. I feel like Mr Wang needs a new shoe manufacturer. The designs are amazing, BUT the quality is eh. LIke with these shoes, it really feels like the arch is in the wrong place or something, or the toe is too narrow... or both!

    And with the other flats I have, they are falling apart literally and its only been a month... So hopefully, someone from his office will see this and then get a new cobbler.

  12. From the lips of Carrie Bradshaw. They may pinch pinch her feet, but she loves them!

  13. LOVE the quote and the shoes.

    Shoe quote courtesy of Carrie Bradshaw, as she told Charlotte in the episode after her and Aidan break up and was upset that Char didn't offer to loan her money to buy the apartment.

    Ah, memories.

  14. Could be any woman, as we all have shoes like that... But it's Carrie, of course.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Quote is from Carrie in SATC referring to how she has to walk in her uncomfy shoes to Charlotte's to save money for her down payment. More importantly, those are the kind of loafers I could get into. I have a very similar flat version of these bad boys and I love em!

  31. Going to be a know-it-all here (at least I think). Charlotte asks Carrie if she walked and Carrie says "no, I took a cab 5 blocks. These shoes pinch my feet, but I love them." Carrie lives in the UES too, remember?

  47. I was going to comment on the Closet Confessions post, where did it go?! I was going to say I've been reading since probably your fourth post because I think you're hilarious but that video is my favourite thing you've put here so far. I think it made me understand your attitude to clothes much better - sometimes it's like you're just being silly (which is great!) but the video showed how much unselfconscious, genuine fun you get out of dressing. I don't think that's the best way to explain it - maybe it's that you were laughing with rather than at the clothes? Anyway. It was an awesome video and I respect your attitude to it all. - From a girl who has no interest in'fashion' and dresses like Zooey Deschanel. :)

  56. I was pretty sure right off the bat that it was a Carrie Bradshaw quote... but for a split moment it made me think of my favorite working girl quote "Six thousand dollars?!? It's not even leatha".
