Ok. i don't need shoes. I am the LAST person that NEEDS shoes. but i do need shoe ADVICE. It's been decided that this skirt is not too tiney after all, and the bootses look so very very cute with it, but it's freakin August in New Orleans. even I know that to wear this would be absurd.

So i ask, what shoes would be the shoes to wear with such a cute little skirt? Is everyone up to speed on my insecurities? They all lie below the knee. well, below the ankle, really. My calves are big which is fine. My ankles are tiney. Which is all good. but my feet. My feet should have been bound as a child while the bones were still bendy.

Due to the tiney of the ankle and the thick of the calf, my not-petite to begin with feet, look even longer and skinnay-er. no. i'm not tellin anyone my shoe size either.

it leads me to the point that flats are not an option with the skirty skirt. That is why i'm in need of the sage advices.

My first inclination is to really rock it 80s style, with some old skool 'boks, but i'm not feelin the black.

So what's a Savage to do? Flats are not an option and i'm over flipflops. Throw a sister a bone here and gimme what you got. I'm dying to wear this skirt out while i'm still skinnay.
