my new kicks.

I've been on the search for the PERFECT black flats (which I think I actually found a few years ago, but passed them up because I bought the red version of them instead, thinking I'd be able to find another comparable pair of black flats, but alas, who knew black flats would be so hard to find... and now I'm kicking myself for not nabbing the black ones too... but anyhow, back to the shoes at hand—or, foot).

So I found a pair of black flats from Coach at Nordstrom. I'm not usually one for brand names or designer fashions. In fact, I was raised to shun brand names (yes, shun) which my parents felt would breed materialism (I can see that), and so the fact that these shoes were Coach actually DETERED me from getting them. But this post is titled "my new kicks", so you already know that I caved. They were SUCH an amazing deal, especially after my discount, I just couldn't leave them behind! And while they are more modish and chic than my usual plain-jane style, I kind of like that. I've been watching a lot of "What Not to Wear", and I imagine Clinton and Stacey nodding in approval.

So, here they are (insert fanfare)... my new kicks!
