Bottoms up!

I've loved being Mrs. Stiletto on Weddingbee! I've met so many wonderful people and I loved sharing our wedding with such a large audience. However, I've always felt like a bit of a fraud. If you'll recall, my stiletto icon looks like this:


Yes, a sassy little Louboutin. Love. But I didn't have any sassy Loubies in my closet. Sad face! So, I finally bit the bullet and picked up a pair of (used!) Louboutins on eBay.

From a distance they look in pretty decent shape:



The bottoms have some wear, but the previous owner had added a protective layer on the sole, which I like because it feels like I have a little more traction when I walk.

Up close you can see some more wear and tear. Some scuffed leather, little gouges out of the toe, etc.


While it would have been great to pick up a sassier pair, these little Loubies are actually quite comfortable, and are a perfect work shoe. The wear and tear are what you would see typically from wearing them around a little bit, and all of the marks on them I probably would have made myself with a brand new pair anyway.

Oh, and the best part? I scored these for $200! (Awesome deal in the world of Louboutins. It is a little disheartening that this is the most I've ever spent on a pair of shoes, and they are used!)

While not exactly stilettos, at least now I can prance around showing off the sassy red sole!
