Kaki Shopping

I so NEED to go on a shoe shopping spree. I know what you’re thinking: how ironic…miss kaki shopping is crying out for shoes. My hubby will probably faint when he reads this, but I really have no shoes now! I’ll go do a major shoe-wardrobe spring cleaning this weekend and you’ll see why…

I need:

1. A pair of black pumps. I need one that’s closed-toe, with a sturdy heel that does not creak while I walk. The ones I have now are open-toed ones, so that’s why I need a covered pair that will go well with my pair of black leggings too. Saw a few at Hush Puppies the other day but I need to find time to check them out. I don’t like those with pointed heels as well, and I don’t like too high a heel either. So many conditions, that’s why it’s so difficult to land myself a pair.

2. A pair of knee-high black boots. I have been looking for these for the longest time, I tell ya. Nothing has caught my fancy. Either they were too expensive, too ugly, the heels were too high or they were in the wrong color. I have several dresses and outfits which I think would look splendid with boots. Now, tell me where I can find them!

3. A pair of sandals for walking around in. My Nike sandals are getting too old and outdated and I feel they are not too feminine for my taste either. I am relishing a pair of Ipanema sandals for lazing around, or for a better grip, a pair of Timberland sandals, which unfortunately though, cost at least RM300!

4. A pair of flats. Make that TWO or more pairs of flat shoes. Remember the NOSE ones I got previously? I am SO SO disappointed with them. Not only was the black one uncomfortable and cut into my heel, the material wore off after not even a week of me wearing them. The orange pair was comfy though, but when I accidentally ran my shopping cart over it, the fabric tore. See, now both of them are going straight into the dustbin. Note to self: never get anything for feet from a shop called NOSE.

So now I need to get some flats that I can wear to the office without people asking me, “Eh, wear slippers to office ah?”

5. A pair of pretty dinner shoes. I had a wedding dinner to attend last month and it was only then that I realized I had NO SHOES to go with my outfit. Luckily I had a versatile pair of black slingbacks that I could use. By the way, does anyone know how to keep the strap of a slingback from slipping down the heel? Mine keeps doing that, and it is so irritating to have to lift it up every now and then, short of cutting the whole darn strap off!

6. A pair of shoes to go well with jeans. I haven’t decided if it’s a pair of slip-ons or a pair of ankle-length boots, or both But I need something to complement my jeans desperately.

Now, who knows where I can find all of the above? And anyone care to join me for my shoe shopping?
