Revive the inner child in you....or not?

[shoesense]

All I could think of when I saw these rubber Cinderella pumps from Kate Spade was, where were these shoes when I was playing dress-up? I can almost feel the excitement of the little girls who finds these in her moms forbidden shoe closet, and pairs them with some glittery pearls and rhinestone buckles and what not.

(As an aside, have you noticed how playing dress-up as a child is primarily about accessories? Thats probably because you dont really fit in any grown-up clothes, but the piling-on of accessories--necklaces, bracelts, rings, hairpins, handbags, shoes, you name it--will still allow you to pretend. Hence, us fashionistas continued love with accessories well into our ripe age.)

So thats why Im torn about these pumps, which, you must admit, are as cute as a button. Part of me says that I probably wouldnt wear them in a million years, but the little girl in me is just dying to take them for a spin. And at under $50 (theyre 68% off Bluefly today), thats not that inconceivable...
