This past weekend, I was fortunate enough to attend some lovely gatherings that required a bit of the fancy. Nothing too fancy, but just that little bit of extra effort which to me is a sure sign of good time just around the corner. When it comes to fashion, I have always been a gal who leans toward practical purchases (some near and dears may laugh at that notion). Honestly though, if I’m going to invest my hard earned and well loved dollars into a fabulous piece to wear, I want to be sure it’s well worth it and I’m going to:

A) Wear it often and feel comfortable in it

B) Dream, fantasize, dare I say lust for if I do not have it

C) Instantly style multiple outfits from my closet to pair with it (often to the confusion of the sales associate: ‘why has she gone silent?’)

The Janice wedge from Louboutin hit me just so. Before you either scoff at the price or perhaps nod your head and think I purchased wisely (disclaimer – I did have a  gift card) I must fill you in on the effect this shoe has on women. Over the weekend I had 6 different women approach me about this shoe. They were complete strangers of all ages, income levels and tastes and each was compelled to stop me on the street and share their opinions on color, wedge height, and most importantly the comfort level. I assured my fellow avoidees of the platform stiletto that these beauties were indeed the shoe they’ve been looking for; playful, versatile,  comfortable and…cherry red.  With ladies from their early 20′s to their 60′s all responding with the thumbs up, I can rest assured I’ve hit on something good..What do you think, are you with me on this?
