Splurge.
Please ignore all you may or may not have read in the last post about not wanting or needing "the latest and greatest." When Camilla's shoes came back in stock in my size, there was no stopping me.
Pairing them with stripey handknit socks and corduroy knickers was equally irresistable, if only for a day. Sure, everybody loves those two little mushrooms and Ms. Red-riding-hood. It was the trees on the instep, though, that were the clincher for me.
It's mud season, of course, which, for a few days, made it difficult to actually put these on and wear them for fear of muddying them up. It was good enough only to look at them until breaking down two days ago and now they've been on walks down to the creek with the boys and the dogs a couple of times, through mud, rain, and snow. Shoes are always better a little broken in, right? Besides, I expect Morran would approve of them getting out for walks and likely Camilla would hope they are well-worn and loved.
C's starting to call me Imelda. Darn the internet for it's temptations, even such happy ones.

Those are the best converse I have ever seen. And I LOVE them with your stripey socks and knickers.
