The Buckle Boot

2009-10-23T22:19:00.000-07:00

I've never lusted over anything designer before. But these, THESE are, I just don't know. Only the most amazing, perfect wedge I've ever seen. I bet they are so comfortable too. I bet you could do all kinds of things in those. Like.. walk to work.

Let me unfold before you, Chloe Sevigny for Opening Ceremony. They'll set you back a mere $625. Mere. HA! I crack myself up. Thats rent plus some. Here is a pair in the flesh.

Even though its hurtful, I know I won't own these until like two or three years later when they come into wasteland & they've been worn to hell & they'll still be like 200 bucks. So I must settle for the Jeffrey Campbell version..Ehhhh. I mean, they are nice. But I don't swoon for them like I do the Chloe's. Its the western buckles that I love oh so much, & thats exactly what the bootlegs are missing. But fuck it, I'll wear them proud! Especially when they should only cost around one hundred to one hundred and fifty dollars. :)

Hello. Welcome to Gear Crisis Adverted.

Allow me to paint a familiar picture. You had to be somewhere thirty minutes ago. But instead, here you stand, in front of your closet tossing one article of clothing to the floor, while picking another up and hastily putting it on, just to be discarded again and the rotation continues. It's like out of all the clothes you own, nothing will suffice today. You hate everything in your closet once again and before you know it, you've spiraled deep and hard into a Gear Crisis.

But do not fret, my pets. A gear crisis is easily adverted with the proper amount of inspiration.

My goal is to present you, the reader, with nothing but a solid, fact based perspective of fashion. And by "fact based" I really just mean my biased opinions towards things people wear & should not wear. To be honest, I have no real direction in mind for this blog, so it will be interesting to see how it unfolds.
