i’d rather not kill a muppet to be fashionable.

while bumbling around online looking at shoes, as i am wont to do when work gets boring, i stumbled upon these darling flats over at 6pm.com: two lips taini.

two lips taini, $33.93 at 6pm

cute, right? i love the color, and the button detailing is right up my alley. unfortunately, they came today, and what i thought was a cool textural element looked more like, well…

cookie monster

…like i killed cookie monster, skinned him, and sewed buttons onto him to adorn my feet.

needless to say, “making me feel like a muppet murderer” is not high on my shoe wishlist. most definitely getting returned. sort of a pity, since i’d already started building super cute outfits around their color and cutesyness — again, as i am wont to do when work gets boring. perhaps the lesson to be learned here is less to do with shoes and more along the lines of “find something to do at work, stupid.”
