Plan B today as I got the dreaded ‘Delivery Exception’ text from UPS regarding the planned delivery of my green box (which will hopefully be waiting for me when I get home). But it was pretty cool to have a young guy approach me at the bus stop and ask me about /compliment my shoes.

Chukka’s on commando w/antique edges from our good friends at AoM…….



And of course, view from the best seat in the house…….



Happy Friday-eve Gang. Have a great one!

Today's grab...full strap tassel loafers in black shell...black has always been the least interesting shell to me..but I've seen some boots recently that have got me re-thinking that theory. 😅

Very nice make up! Black may be the least interesting shell color, but only because the competition is fierce. I mean, look at that sheen!

Absolutely. My local place mostly stocks 8 so I haven't had much opportunity to handle black shell. If I have to go through the hassle/expense of getting shoes out of the US, it's usually for the rarer colours versus 8 or black. The 2 pairs of black shell I have don't see the most use admittedly...but this summer in California and my trip to Shanghai a couple weeks back, I hit a few shops and some of the black shell boots were impressive. And then of course looking up models on-line followed. I just bought a pair of Ravello plain toe boots that haven't even been delivered yet..so black will have to wait..but it is on my radar 😁
