I’m the kinda chick that has shoe-envy! Look at these beautiful, rich-jewel-green land of Oz colored, ankle-strapped sandals with black button embellishment. I want these shoes, but ‘puffy’ a.k.a. my foot with the ‘issues’, won’t allow…so I gaze at them, longing to be the type of girl that can forego comfort for the drama and beauty that a good piece of footwear can evoke.
