so i abandoned my nano novel. my heart just wasn't in it anymore---i am so bad at giving up my evenings and weekends for a project i have a love-hate relationship with. mainly i am annoyed because if i choose to do it again next year, i will have two completed years and one missed year, instead of a nice steady string of three completed years. oh well. partly i think the smutfactor of the story made me sad, made me reluctant, made me feel like i was cheating. farewell, dora!

.

meanwhile the shoes i ordered from sketchers.com arrived and they are ass ugly. i am so disappointed! the shoes i bought from them three years ago were awesome and perfect, and i guess they don't make them anymore. the old ones have cute sort of squared-off toes; the ones that arrived have ugly rounded tips that are too narrow and make me feel like an especially well-heeled maid. :( so i am returning them and next i am going to try ordering one of these from docmartens.com instead:






sigh. why is finding a plain yet pleasing pair of women's oxfords so damned hard? stupid fashion world.

oh, i sympathize with your plight. my favorite shoes [and the ones i wear almost everyday] are a pair of red doc marten mary janes which took me forever to find. they're exactly what i had been looking for, but in the process of finding them i found so many mary janes that were either a) not red or b) with heels which were just ugly and awful.

currently, i'm going through a similar situation trying to find a good pair of black pinstripe pants. i went and tried on at least four pairs earlier this week and they all were cut for someone with smaller hips and were lowrise and made me look awful. bah!

good luck with the oxfords!

i also considered the oxblood-red color of the t-strap mary janes, on the offchance the oxfords don't end up being what i want after all. i love mary janes. at least they are reliable, unlike the manifold varieties of oxfords i find that are decidedly wrong.
