Shoe Club, Take Two

Yay! Another meeting of the shoe club! This time we went to Santiago's for dinner al fresco on a beautiful summer night and then (after several margaritas) raced to the theater to see "Sex & the City." It was my second time to see the movie, but who's counting? At least I didn't cry all through it this time so I could actually see what was going on. Loved it, loved it.

Tim the Footographer showed up again, just for the Footo session.

These are Lucy's: very cool combination of black patent and cork in a comfy wedge.

Denise arrived straight from work in these great snakeskin strappy sandals. Chic and snakey.

Me: Linea Paolo cranberry patent and pink suede, with charming bows, slingbacks & 3" chunky heels so one can actually walk in them (can't see in this pic but oh well). They don't go with anything I own! I don't care!

Carol: Great patent leather sling-backs in a go-with-anything browny-bronzy tone.

"Best of Shoe" that night, hands down, no contest, competition over: Terry went shopping in Chicago and ended up coming home and ordering these gladiator sandals with 4" heels, platform, straps, zippers, and just a little touch of S&M thrown in for good measure. (whips, chains & great danes not included) Yikes!!! Shoes like these could change your world! And when we went to the movie and saw SJP strutting the streets of NY in them, we knew they were the perfect purchase for our tap-dancing teacher. She's definitely got the Struttability Factor. And they made her appear approximately 6'5".

Okay, here's the total Carol picture--denim skirt, fitted white tee, and blogalicious little hat. Very un-Yakima-like of her. (That's a compliment).

Isn't it all about the accessories? Isn't that what separates us from the lower species? Terry's bunny-fur Chanel bag with tortoise-shell clasp & Chanel chain. (Tortoise & the hare, get it?) And --too bad you can't see the intertwined C's on the hinged two-tone bangle. Oooooohlala.

You've seen the shoes, the bag, and the bracelet: here's the total Terry in front of the Sex & the City poster. What you can't see is that her black cotton skirt (from Garden Dance right here in NotQuitePalmSprings!) has all kinds of cool features like tiny zippers on the side that transform it from paper-bag skirt to a fuller--well, ok---square-dancy--style. Plus gold lame' jacket, white flowered belt, black jersey top. The pose? There may have been margaritas involved.
If you can't wear this on a night with the girls, when can you wear it, I ask?
