debating with myself
Ok, so I've recently become obsessed with the idea of wearing high-heeled oxfords. I love the look of regular flat oxfords, but they do absolutely NOTHING for my legs. In addition, something like this:
is an absolutely fabulous combination of menswear-inspired and sexy, and to top it off, it has a vintage feel. There were a pair at Delias that I almost ordered, but they're backordered until October. No thanks! (Also: heels aren't high enough. I have BIG FEET so I have to wear pretty high heels for them to look right.) So anyway, I've been poking on Ebay trying to find something I like, and while these Chanel lovelies will finish way out of my price range, I did find these:
Now, before you recoil in shock, hear me out. Yes, those are 5 1/2 inch heels. Yes, they are fetish shoes and, based on the sizes in which they are available, probably designed for cross-dressers. But still! Wouldn't they be fab paired with a pencil skirt and seamed hose? Or a pair of wide-legged, high-waisted trousers? Or skinny jeans and a loose black top?
Or have I been sniffing too many nail polish fumes? Opinions, please?

i am personally of the opinion no heel is too high. and they don't look stripper-esq to me at all. (could be the decided lack of two inch platforms.)
