Woe and Want

I think I finally found the Millay paper I want to write--in the conclusion of the one I did write.
CURSES.

Here is my contribution to the annual retail frenzy: pretty, pretty shoes.
I have no reason to buy them--I refuse to wear heels if I can possibly get away with it, and anyway, these are suede-soled dance shoes--but I kind of want them anyway. I can't actually remember ever wanting a specific pair of shoes--I'm more of a "Oh, the sole is falling off my boot/tennis shoe/sandal. I should get new ones" type of shoe shopper. And then I look for something as closely related to my current footwear as I can get. But these are so pretty, and it's nice to imagine having an occasion to wear them--and perhaps also a sleek 1930s evening gown to go with them. (Not to mention the figure that would go with said gown. Heh.)
Alas, I have none of these things, and so no shoes. But I will pretend.
