Mr. Postman

The postman brought some ebay goodies today, yay!





The boots, well, who can resist boots? ;) They have a buckle on the side at the ankle, which isn't really visible from the picture. I will say though that they're not as comfy as the soles in my Docs are, but I can't complain really... plus it's nothing that some Dr. Scholl's inserts can't fix.

The ballet flats are because I really need something to wear that's not too hot, looks nifty and cute under pants or a skirt, and doesn't have much in the way of heels (seeing as I doubt they're going to be comfy over the summer, all things considered). My selection of summer footwear is pretty limited, to like mainly boots, so this is a nice addition in the light footwear department. They're very comfy and the inside of the shoe is some faux suede stuff, which is oh-so soft.

So cute! Where did you get them?

Both off Ebay.

If you're a size 6 or 7, the seller still has pairs of the boots:

I noticed that the seller with the ballerina flats has new pairs up, in cream as well as black:

There are some red pumps with black lace trim that are adorable too...

Cool! Your boots came!

[identity profile] tanthe.livejournal.com 2005-04-29 04:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, they're definitely not made for long walks or anything, and will certainly get a pair of Dr. Scholl's inserts, because they don't hold a candle to my Docs.

But my Docs are knee high, no zipper and no ski hooks, so they're a bit more involved to put on.

The seller has lots more, in cream and black, I gave the link in response to one of Scarlytte's comments.

Ugh, now I really wish I didn't have huge feet. Those little slippers are gorgeous.

Congradulations on the boots. I'm currently saving for a pair of docs(being an unemployed student who has to save for the future)

[identity profile] tanthe.livejournal.com 2005-04-29 05:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I nabbed the size 10 boots... no dainty feet here.

Those slippers are so comfy, I'm very impressed, I hadn't really expected too much of them.

I highly recommend keeping an eye out on Ebay. That's where I got my knee-high Docs for $50 or so (pretty much the same price I paid for those Bongo boots, which aren't as comfy as the Docs). They were technically second hand, but had only been worn once or twice, so as good as new.

Hi, I know this might sound a bit odd, but do you have an email address where I could contact you privately? There's something I'm working on in [livejournal.com profile] altparent which I thought you might be interested in. My email address is avalon_bliss[at]livejournal[dot]com :)
