What: size 8 nude/taupe slingbacks
From: Talbots (outlet)
Purchased: mid-late 00s
Cost: guessing about $24 but really not sure
So, going through the shoes in my underbed thing which holds brown shoes. Nude shoes are HOT right now - I've gotten a bunch of spring e-mails/catalogs that have entire pages devoted to nude shoes, so I'm glad I'm sorting them all out. Prior to this current nude trend, I would have called these taupe-colored, and quite honestly I've never known what to really wear with them. I have a skirt that sort of matches this color, but now that nudes are everywhere, I have a lot more options. Except for the fact that I am a color person, not a nude person. (I was looking at a catalog yesterday from Restoration Hardware and I had to put it down because it was giving me a headache because every page was so bland and neutral - photo after photo of gorgeous furniture just crying out for a throw pillow or something in a color other than some shade of sand/taupe/khaki/brown).
Anyway, last week I put a different pair of older nude slingbacks into this underbed shoe thing, and looking at them today I just thought - what is the difference in these two shoes? The older ones a little bit cheesy and frumpy with the bow, so I think they are going to go. Funny how sorting shoes out by color/style/season illustrates my overlaps! Cannot wait til April 8th and the big shoe sort!
Bottom line: Keeper
