Today’s theme was not exactly cryptic, so I found the spangle at the same time it takes to take a clogging. Not that I own a pair, even though I see the appeal of the modern plastic perfect to put on to perform tasks where you don’t care what people think of your taste in footwear.
That said, all the shoes we were looking for today fall within the comfort category rather than the probable-get-get-carrie-Bradshaw-Excited category. The kind of shoes you can easily slip on and off.
Still, a pleasant and fun way to start our strict week. The only thing that stretched me tried to spell espadrille.
