H’ween here I come

October 16th, 2009

I did it.  I made the transition from flip-flops to shoes - and feeling rather Halloweenishy.  Huge thanks to Calamity Kim for showing the cutest shoes EVER on her flickr.  Kim kindly led me and my plastic money down the cute shoe path.  The T.U.K. Women’s Cat Mary Jane can be found here.  I have a foot issue - so I took my seam ripper and removed the straps.  Tadah… my Meowy Janes!
Meowy Janes
These shoes should come with a warning.  You will be stopped by the nicest people where ever you go with Meowy Janes on your feet - your shoes will be admired and inquired about.  Not for the shy or anti-social.  This concludes the warning.

    So cute! Your story makes me think of my rubber boots, people are always asking me where I got them or commenting on them. Here they are.



  5. The fabulous Kolleen allegedly said:

    These are the best shoes–I will be looking for them in wide–as good as my hi-tops with flames!

    OMG! don’t you LOVE these shoes?! i have them too. bought them off a retro clothes website (name has escaped my memory) about 3 years ago and they are awesome. i wore mine a couple weeks ago to the office…i sneak them in every so often.

    to add to the warning: if you have kids and go pick them up at school or daycare, every little girl will want them too and make comments.



  13. The fabulous Kristin L allegedly said:

    How fun!! You need socks with fishies on them now!



  14. The fabulous Christiane allegedly said:

    meow and purr, those shoes are great and worth being admired loud and frequently:)



  15. The fabulous jen duncan allegedly said:

    Super cute! I can see why you had to take the strap off, too. Too high up toward the ankle, right? thanks for the link to that site. They’re affordable as well as cute!



  16. The fabulous Laura & Mark Sperry allegedly said:

    Love your shoes. I need to find a cute pair of rain boots if you come across any. Why not be CUTE in the WET weather.



  17. The fabulous Thimbleanna allegedly said:

    Those are SUPER cute SW1!!! You’re clearly #1 in fashion!



  18. The fabulous pam allegedly said:

  20. The fabulous AnyoneCanQuilt allegedly said:

I love them! I think I should get some and we can have matching shoes at our upcoming Wipeout convention! We’ll be the best tag team ever! xoxo



  21. The fabulous Mary on Lake Pulaski allegedly said:

    You and my sister are two of the people I know that would love wearing those shoes. Thanks for the warning!



  22. The fabulous eva allegedly said:

    not for the shy or anti-social …… indeed…… or the faint of heart….be still..my jealous heart..

    I NEED these shoes to go with my collections….hm…”stash of shoes”??



  23. The fabulous Ricki allegedly said:

    So cute! Now if they only had them in wide! My feet are sorely mad at me for squeezing into regular width shoes just because they are cute. Really really cute fun and funky though!



  24. The fabulous Kim Walus allegedly said:

    Very Very CUTE!!! I love the purple socks too!! You are definitely stylin!



  25. The fabulous Chrizette allegedly said:

    This is just the cutest shoes - I am so green over here!



  26. The fabulous Pam allegedly said:

    My feet are size 10 and my Dear Dad’s chihuahuas would run and hide if I wore those shoes…on second thought, that sounds like a plan! xo Pam in chico



  27. The fabulous Laura allegedly said:

    OMG, I must have those shoes!



  28. The fabulous DivaMom allegedly said:

    I am in love with the shoes and went looking. I think I will be treating myself to an early Christmas present. :)



  29. The fabulous Kathi D allegedly said:

    Those are some stylin’ socks, too!



  30. The fabulous nanette allegedly said:

    These are going to be birthday presents for my twins.



  31. The fabulous Karen Snyder allegedly said:

    Adorable shoes. And, say, I love that floor under your feet!



  32. The fabulous Ashley allegedly said:

    Dangit! I love those shoes so much, I just went and ordered myself a pair. At least these won’t roll on my quilt table and leave hair everywhere like our 4 cats do!



  33. The fabulous carolbrowne allegedly said:

    AWWWW! Those are the best. Shoes. Evah! They even have a little tail on them. AHHHH!



  34. The fabulous Carmen allegedly said:

    I have these too although mine are all black without the white bit :D How comfy are they eh? I also go strapless too ;)

    I don’t know if you ‘do’ the award thing - tough luck if you don’t as you have one waiting for you on my blog :)



  35. The fabulous Sarah allegedly said:

    I have these in red! I never thought about taking off the strap…what a good idea! I got them about 6-7 years ago from Hot Topic on clearance.
