Pair #10- Serious Shoes

This is probably the most exquisite pair of shoes I own, except for one. (Those I am saving for a very special occasion, because they are just too beautiful to look at on a daily basis.)

So why shoot these against the books like this?

Well, because these Manolo Blahnik pumps are the shoe version of a b-movie librarian- seemingly all business, until she takes her glasses off, and lets her hair down. Then she's nothing but trouble.

Sure, they wear that demure bow in front, in an attempt at decorum, but look closely, and you'll see it's shredded, punk rock style. The deep maroon is the rich color of dried blood, and the three inch heels are positively vampy.

I love these, and wear them at any opportunity. I once wore them to dinner in the middle of January. I last wore them two weeks ago, to my cousin Rosie's wedding. They danced until close to midnight; I had to drag them off the floor.
