after macy's and bloomies and nordy's

Cold and shoe-hungry after being shown the ugly and stumpy and the weather-inappropriate peep-toe and sling-back, after having our hopes dashed by the absence of a gorgeous sigerson morrison in the right size, we arrived to the small, but precious shoe display at barney's coop, the home of the perfectly pointy (but not elfin) pump to stamp around mla.

The talk is tightening up, the prep for the interview is coming along--two tasks which need to be finished over the coming days. However, upon finding these shoes, I feel ready.
