Not Your Father's Tassle Shoes

Like father, like daughter. He lovingly passed on his temper, hair and toes to me (At least the first three toes. The other two, the crooked ones, are my mom's.) - and possibly my shoe issue? I grew up seeing my dad wear these tassled shoes with those terrible socks, you know the argyle with the mismatched colors? The colors that don't even go together? Yeah, those. Well, while perusing the amazingness that is the Neiman Marcus website, I happened upon these beauties - the Christian Louboutin Tasseled Platform Pumps.

How much do I love thee? Let me count the ways. The color is right on trend and will remain timeless as the years come. The exaggerated tassels give an added flair for fashion while remaining on the conservative side. And, last but not least, the heel is hot at a towering 5.5 inches. These reinvented beauties are just what Fall ordered. I can see it now - a crisp white oxford, a warmly colored, high-waisted skirt and these babies on my feet at the office. Suspenders optional.
