surrender, rend it, i'm yours.

Is it just me, or have Aldo shoes been utterly KILLING it lately?? I know their stuff isn't often the highest quality, but it takes me years to wear out shoes* and anyone of these pair would be quite the welcome addition to my shoe collection.

Mmm, brogues, t-straps, lace-ups and buckles. The last pair of booties are obviously Marc by Marc ripoffs, but they're 1) real leather and 2) on sale, making them nearly irrestible. I might just have to pull my credit card out for this one...




About the shoe collection, I stopped counting when I passed 40 pairs. I may not be Imelda Marcos, but for someone with as little closet space as I do, it feels like a shitload when they're all haphazardly piled on top of each other.

*I wear my shoes in pretty much constant rotation, so some pairs of shoes I've had since Grade 10 (about 4 years ago) still look brand new. As hard as I try to "break" the pairs I don't care about anymore, their condition never seems to wear. This explains why the sudden passing of my brown leather brogues was such a grievous shock.
