The Fashion Police이란 블로그에서 알게 된 귀엽고 특이한 두군데…와우! 개인적으로 wedge heel을 싫어해요 (거의 모든 남자는 거런 것같은데…) 근데 이 건 뭔가 다른 것같아요. 너무 화려하고 행복한 느낌! 그리고 4만원밖에 안 되는 거네요.

한국에서는 이런 걸 아직 못 봤는데. 보니까 모양은 아주 괜찮고 색깔도 bold이에요. “Bubble gum pink인데 원래 그런 색깔은 오바라고 생각하는데…웬지 이 건 아니네요.

사고 신으면 완전히 스타가 되는 느낌. 그리고 진짜로 스타가 되는 사실? “저기요. 구두가 어디서 사셨나요?” ㅋㅋ 여기.

I caught wind of these at The Fashion Police, and wow, these shoes are simply stunning. I actually tend to hate wedges (as most men do, for some reason), but these are so bold and bubble gum, they seem to pull it off.

I think a lot of it is in the sheer brashness of the bubble gum pink and polka dots, but the shape of the shoe is really where it’s at. It just looks nice, and with the right pair of feet and a pedicure, the wearer will not only feel like a star, but likely be one: “Where did you find those?!”

Right here, actually.

This was an extensive post I was supposed to put up a long time ago, but just never quite finished it.

You know, we all know – the 80’s have returned.

Tight jeans are back, pumps are back, even neon colors are back.

Especially pink.

Shades of colors from pure, primary red to pimpin’ purple are everywhere. Cute pink, hot pink, and pretty pink have not only returned, but are back with a vengeance.

그 걸 아시죠? 당연히 아시겠죠 – 80년대 다 시 돌아온 걸. 이 사진을 보시면 원래 Halloween 복장 가게의 사이트에서 찾은 “Shoes from the 80’s”이란 사이트인데 웃기는 건 모든 예날에 인기있었던 신발은 인제 리바이벌 패션이 된 거잖아요. 신기하며 무섭다고 생각해요. 80년대에서 벗어 난 줄 알았는데… ㅠㅠ

ㅋㅋ

For example, each and every one of these shoes – from a costume shop featuring them as “Shoes from the 80’s” – is back in style. The shapes are a bit different, but the animal prints, pink and other solid colored pumps, and even white are back in.

Put some stirrup pants and a cheetah-print top on and we’re Back to the Future with a quickness.

The young lady spotted below was in veritable pink overdrive, and exuding girlish coquettishness in a way that is hard to convey in writing or even through photographs. She was trying to meet someone – male, I guessed from her tone of voice and expectant eagerness – and was dressed to kill. From the way she walked, she wasn’t taking any prisoners.

이 언니는 너무나 이쁘게 나오려고 했고 그 super-pink구두로 성공한 거예요. “우와! 대단하다”고 생각할 수 밖에 없었어요, 첨 봤을 때. 어떤 남자를 만나려고 나온 건데 – 막 귀여운 목소리로 통화하고 끊고 통화하고 위치를 성명하고 또 찾아보는 걸 보니까 – 그리 걷는 모습을 봤으면…야아아아…일단 대단한 겅Uㅆ어요.

근데 제일 눈에 띈 건 신발말이예요. 이 신발을 인터넷상에서 못 찾았는데 (아마 무슨 동대문 작은 개인 디자이너의 가게에서 샀을 걸) 내가 봤을때 좀 화려하면서 특이하고 좀 이쁜 것같아요.

누구 더 멋진가요? 이 윗언니는 좀 괜찮은 거아닌가요? 밑에 언니는 좀…뭐랄까? 촌스러운가? 오바인가? 웬지 위에 신발 맘에 드는데 밑에는 좀…아줌마스럽다고 할까?

Inevitable, we have to deal with the question of whether anyone can ever be too pink. Ya think? Is it possible?

Well, in theory, yes – too much pink is definitely possible. But if you can pull it off, well…
What do you think? Crazy cool or totally tacky? I am leaning towards tacky…

어떻게 생각들하시나용? 이 패션에대해서? Comments좀 쓰시지오!

EE-OO! EE-OO!

“Calling all cars! Calling all cars! Fashion police being dispatched to apprehend pre-meditated fashion felony! Calling all cars! Calling all cars!”

I was walking down the street today when I spied the most disturbing thing I’d seen in nearly all my time spent in Korea. It caused me great emotional suffering and scarring, and will remain in my memory for the remainder of my days. Oh, the horror! The humanity! The…socks!

BEHOLD!!!

Lawwwwwd, I pray you help this lamb, who has obviously strayed so far from the herd that she is lost and in need of guidance. Send low a sweet chariot to come forth and carry this young lady home.

Now that all that’s positive to say about such an offense as this has been officially said, I just have to add that unless this girl’s mentally retarded, – sorry, but there’s no excuse save that one – there’s no reason for her to be wearing those socks and…green sandals? Huh?!

Lawwd, have mercy! Are those green butterflies on her sandals? Whew.

***SHUDDER***

Since she didn’t seem to be mentally incapacitated in any way, and apparently is an adult and made the conscious decision to wear what she’s wearing, she must accept full responsibility for her actions.

But that doesn’t mean that she doesn’t deserve help. If you see this woman, ya’ll need to act on the spot. Intervene. Do your civic duty. Point this lamb back in the general direction of fashion sense and sanity.

Maybe she’s beyond help?

EE-OO! EE-OO!

“Calling all cars! Calling all cars! Fashion police being dispatched to apprehend ludicrous color choices involving opqaue stockings and pumps! Calling all cars! Calling all cars!”

Uh. Mah. Gawd.

Don’t even get me started.

This is a major felony violation of fashion laws, with aggravated felony assault of 80’s fashion.

OK. The Irene Cara, dance-school-top-slouching-down-over-one-shoulder thing is kinda back. If that’s what you want to do, then technically…it’s…not – I can’t believe I’m even saying this – a…crime.

But black, opaque tights with GOLD, OPEN-TOED SHOES!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!

I was walking in the opposite direction when I spied this young lady sashaying past me, as if she were Princess Di herself, resurrected and given hips.

Do I even need to go into detail here as to how wrong this is? Do I need to talk about no TIGHTS with open-toed shoes or talk about the obvious color clash here?

Uh. Mah. Gawd.

한심하다. 휴.

I got thick. Yes, I know – there’s more attractive “thick” out there, but this girl was working it so well that I had to take some snaps. Her pedicure looks about 3-4 weeks overdue for touching up, but with her dainty heels and imposing stature – it was certainly something that caught the eye and made me think once again of Sir-Mix-a-Lot. This was down-home cooking, crunk in the trunk.

I love the shape of her heel, as well as her strap-o-sass. If you had seen her walking, you certainly would have understood the feel this girl gave off. Crunk, baby, crunk.
