Hilariously awful

By in clothes, Griping, seriously?

I cleaned our oven today. Talk about the world’s grossest job. The brown goop that came out of it was so gross, omg. I guiltily used almost an entire roll of paper towels-I just couldn’t bring myself to use a damp rag that would need rinsing after each swipe. Ugh. Anyway, this horrible task led me to need a trip out of the house. I’d been feeling Eaton Centric for a few weeks, so that’s where I wound up.

Didn’t buy much, just a non-branded sweater on sale from Bench. It’s ok. The fun was at Winner’s, the one at College Park. It’s not a particularly swanky location, not like the Bay-Bloor one, so when I saw these shoes I almost choked on my free Halls.

Ugly, right? I though, oh they must be by Gwen Stefanie or something, but the name is Roger Vivier and apparently he’s a big deal because I flipped them over and saw this:

Srsly. That’s $599.99 for what may be the fugliest shoes at Winner’s. I know someone will think, oh but they’re Roger Vivier (and again, whoever the eff that is) but that doesn’t cancel out the ugly.

    I googled the name and apparently he invented the Stiletto.

  4. Caitlin Jane says:

    2 pairs in the wrong size? That’s extravagance!

    Yeah, I guess he’s some kind of hot shit. But really? I’d never heard of him before, it’s not like Louboutins or whatever. Are his zexy shoes the domain of older ladies? Does Jeannie Becker wear them?

    I know you took the picture because they’re in my size and you want to tempt me.
    I was in a Salvation Army the other day and they had two pairs of Ferragamos in a size like, 15 or something. They were HUGE!

    This is why I don’t own “couture” anything.
