Mary Jane with flower and hot pink detail

They are gorgoeous. They are my new favorite pair. The picture doesn't do them justice as they actually have a three inch heel. They are also the reason that I'm dreading walking up the stairs to bed. My feet hurt like hell. I'll never wear new shoes to work again. Ouch.

For your edification

"L’esprit d’escalier" doesn’t really have a phrase with the same meaning in English, but the literal translation is “the wit of the stairs.” It is when you have just walked away from an argument or discussion where you’ve been kind of shocked or stumped, then you think of the perfect thing that you didn’t say, but it is too late; your wit didn't catch up to you until you were already on the stairs.
