A foot fetish?........Nope, just lusting for comfort.

I have been through Nordstroms several times, but my pocketbook could not meet their standards at the time. A friend who has size 12 feet, was telling about sales and nice shoes that she was able to catch during lunchtime shopping. Being a size 9.5 wide, I usually have to go up to size 10, so I was naturally intrigued. I checked their site, but after browsing, I felt that Zappos.com is still the best choice for me. But I did see these Geox brand shoes on the Nordstorm's site and after reading about them, I definitely want a pair of the Geox ´Connection´ Slip-ons and the Mary Jane styles. I like shoes that are breatheable along with being comfortable. I just wish that they had them in Navy Blue and some pastel shades also. I could go for some in Tan, Pink, and Lime Green. I could see the exasperated grimaces on my teenagers' faces now if I walked in with some Lime Green shoes that were not flip flops.

"That is just not cool, Mom.........."

While I am in the consumer lusting mode, I have also been drooling over this semi formal top at Alight.com.

The fabric is not my favorite, and I wish that I could find a similar or exact pattern so I could reproduce the top in some fabric that I have my eye on. I have been looking, and found one (Kwick SEW #3334) that is close to it, but still have my eyes open for another example. But I love the design and cut of this blouse/jacket because it reminds me of the fashions from the 1980's "Dynasty" TV show. For fun, I imagine myself as an Alexis Carrington or Dominuque Devereux clone, strutting in a snazzy suit and telling certain folks to "kiss her azzzzzzzz!" I still wonder whatever happen to Pamela Bellwood?
