New year, and Repeats.



Happy New Year!

Top photo, a glimpse of my now healthy cat's tail (so healthy she ran away from the center of the camera frame). The other two, a shot of the Theyskens' Theory flats that just arrived----Love the way it is made, as what miss sophie said, it is constructed with a very sturdy leather, and despite it being flat shoes the pointed design and the low cut makes it quite, well, dressy and sexy (did I use that word? I suppose I did). I tried it with a wide black Yohji pants and it works wonderfully, too. And since flats that work and fits well are so hard to come by, I actually did a repeat buy when the same shoe in suede went on sale at the Theory website.

I sometimes wonder if the flat shoes are another trend cycle that came in vogue along with the skinny jeans (they don't work with flare or boot cut as well) and bound to look outdated sometime soon, but then again, it works with my lifestyle and I realized that it doesn't matter that much---the issue is whether I'd be grabbing the shoe on the go, if it will be a working horse. and this one, I'm quite sure.

the TT flats look great on you!! :D

it's definitely one of those items that you know will work for you time and time again. i think it's a lot harder to find a comfy chic black flat like this than a fancy high heel. i'm sad i didn't bring/didn't have space to bring my TT flats to SH :P
