the wild wild midwest

I think I'm going to be wearing boots in the summer heat more often; I feel like it gives off strong conceal/carry vibes, which is important...for reasons.

My love for Margiela tabi flats is UNREQUITED *sad face*.

After only 20 minutes of wear, I got one of the worst blisters ever on my right heel that exploded while I was trying to push through the pain without any padding to prevent the back from rubbing against my boney Achilles. I had to wear backless shoes for a moment and keep some bandages on for a few days while the blister finally sealed. Additionally, my left big toe currently looks like the 'before' in those grotesque Russian manicure videos...I now have to put lots of glitter in my polish when I do my pedicures so I can cover up the injury.

Despite this struggle, the diehard masochist fashionista in me decided to give the tabi another try and this time I went with a gorgeous magenta pair in satin. They are lined in leather, but the satin makes them super soft and gentle on my feet. Even though the color is bit jarring, they actually go with pretty much everything I wear. The old tabis have now become decor, which is what I thought they could be when I first saw them online. It's not the first Margiela piece I wanted for display however, I almost purchased this:

...before I found my cute little sheep statue, I was soooo close to getting this bag I saw in the clearance section on Farfetch; I really love white shearling decor and I thought this quirky Margiela satchel would have been perfect. I'm definitely one of those people that believes fashion doesn't always have to be wearable to be appreciated.

I don't know if the first piece is truly sold out because sometimes Shopbop will PLAY MIND GAMES with me and reach into my cookies and try and get me to buy quicker by saying an item is sold out or only has one left when it is in fact A LIE....I think certain scientists and alleged medical professionals might have learned this trick as well hmmmm...however, this Ferragamo gem is still available on its brand site as well as other sites.

I have to get that By Far bag because it's a timeless cuteness that I cannot stop thinking about; such a versatile feminine piece. The final piece is kind of random because I'm just now getting back into wearing heels on a daily basis (maybe because there is still nowhere to go so shorter distances/trips mean it's easy to walk in heels?); Sies Marjan really SNAPPED, these lace ups are a MUST.
