falling in and out and back in love

My relationship with these shoes has been a rollercoaster ride. When I first saw them, I immediately fell in love because they resembled Aquazzura's Christy flats, but of course at a much more affordable price point. Then fall starts creeping up and along come a bagillion different affordable iterations of Aquazzura-esque lace up flats. And even though I roll my eyes (times infinity) at hipsters I somehow have hipster-esque tendencies myself which means that the quick over-exposure of the flats turned me off them. Finally, our story has a happy ending because I had a change of heart and decided the flats were cute, over-exposure be damned!

And yeah, only a style blogger would feel the need to anthropomorphize a pair of shoes.
