Meet the newest addition to my shoe familia.
These babies were my singular shopping concession when I made my debut visit to Topshop Sandton this weekend. I spotted them on the UK website a while back and instantly connected with their sturdy-heeled 60s sensibility and mod-inspired two tone aesthetic.
So why the passive-aggressive blog post title, you may ask? Well, on the morning I planned to hit Topshop to purchase these beauties, a Facebook friend of mine shared an image of them directly from the Topshop SA Facebook page along with her self-penned caption: ‘The ugliest fucking shoes I have ever seen”.
The irony made me cackle. Our different style is what makes us unique, certainly, but I am sometimes taken aback by how alternatively we each see the world. It really brings new meaning to the notion that ‘one man’s trash is another man’s treasure’.
I’ll take my treasure, thanks!
Love them! Please tell me who it was?
