Call me crazy.  Ridicule my taste, style & judgment.  Whatever; in this instance, I don’t care.  I am insanely haunted by this (admittedly) utterly impractical shoe. I have absolutely no occasion, outfit, or excuse to wear these. But, sometimes there is no conscious rationale behind our attraction to a particular shoe.  So fine, I’m irrational.  I think I can deal with that.

Moschino C10112ISP1 $490 $275.64 at Overstock.com

Considering the ever-increasing prices of designer shoes, Moschino’s visual pun on shoe-bling and pricey styles falls more toward art than utility. I love it.  What an apt commentary on the amounts we shoe-obsessed women can be convinced to pay for a beautiful shoe-crush.  This shoe is such a great bit of tongue-in-cheek irony that I would love to own it just to but it on display in its own little curio nook.  It would be fun to add a hint of self-mockery to my decor - particularly since my little shoe-obsession is no secret to most of  those who know me.

And, unless I am mistaken, art may be the only wise way to purchase this particuler “last pair” at Overstock; someone has apparently neglected to note the shoe size in the item description.
