Shoeaholics Anonymous

Hello. My name is Princess Tatiana, and I am a shoeaholic. I confess: I love shoes. I own far too many shoes. I own so many shoes I’ve forgotten what I own, and I couldn’t possibly wear them all in a season if I could remember them all. I even have shoes I’ve never worn. Ever. (Shame!) I’d like to say there’s always room for more, but … there isn’t. I would have to move house to fit more in my closet.

Here is a delicious little pink satin pair that I have never worn out of the house. Don’t those tassels just strike delight in your heart? They look like they’re made expressly for dancing the night away.

Lord Byron’s words perfectly encapsulate these fairytale dancing slippers:

On with the dance! let joy be unconfined;
No sleep till morn, when youth and pleasure meet
To chase the glowing hours with flying feet.

I bought them from the Wittner warehouse shop for about $30, so really, they are still are bargain, even if they’re as yet unworn. They’re waiting for exactly the right occasion, and their time in the sun will come one day. Or night.
