another diffusion line. if you're "fierce."
So, it seems that Pierre Hardy (he's the jewelry director for Hermes! He's the shoe designer for Balenciaga! he has little name recognition in the US!) has done a line of shoes for The Gap, which they have advertised poorly.
I went to check it out -- because honestly, what else am I going to do when I'm supposed to be "working"* -- and I quite like these mary janes. Other people might prefer some three-strap wooden platform shoes. $98 isn't that expensive for shoes, especially non-plastic shoes, but it's more than I want to spend right now. (Also, those maryjanes are materially similar to shoes I have that I got almost 8 years ago at Banana Republic for about the same price; they're also similar to stuff that Payless has been selling for $20 since Summer, 2007.)
No, the thing I want to order is this: Scherenschnitte skirt, in red. I will wear it with big clunky red high-heeled mary janes (they are almost cartoonish) and red-and-white striped tights (might as well run with that cartoonishness). Not sure what to wear on top. White tees don't look good on me, so I'd have to find a red shirt that was flattering. Or maybe pink?
(Potentially acceptable substitutes: Favorite Things in red -- yes, she also sells a jacket, but the largest size cannot contain my buxomity; Schwarzwalder in green -- gnomes!; Anchors Away in indigo/red.)
Oh, yes, and all that snow? Only about half-melted today. It's in the low 40s F.
*I'm kidding; I'm totally working. As long as I'm here until later this afternoon, monitoring things, I'm doing my job. Thus far the internets have not ex-or-im-ploded on my watch.
