Atacoma

3 August, 2009 (21:34)

I keep telling myself that I just can’t buy any more shoes right now, I JUST CAN’T, and then along come Acne’s Atacoma wedges making me fall in love and yearn endlessly for these beauties. They’re simple, but that’s what makes them so amazing. That, and the fact that they are gigantic wedges balanced on a silver platform. A mirror-shiny silver platform, which I sooo long to have on my feet. I’m always a fan of some contrast, and the idea of little me teetering around in these giant wedges is absolutely salivating. It’s hard for me to resist a “stomp-y” shoe, and these wedges definitely go in the stomp-y category. The reasonable side of me is yelling that I can’t afford another pair of shoes at the moment, and if I’m going to buy anything, the shoes should be so incredibly special and beautiful that they transcend space and time. It tells me that I do not need these shoes, they’re not even “beautiful” really, they’re sort of just…simple. But the greedy side of me loves them for exactly that reason, especially since I’m on somewhat of a “simple” kick. It tells me that they will look so good with all of Rad Hourani’s newest collection, it screams “WANT, WANT, NEEEED” at me. Look at them, they’re perfect to go stomping around in for fall, they’re just subtle enough to be casual, and just special enough to be completely covetable. Sometimes, my fashion desires don’t make very much sense (do the things I want ever make sense? I’m sort of doubtful).

*edit: they’ve only been out for a couple days, but it appears as if the black/silver version is sold out on the acne site. *cries*
