Okay, I rarely have anything bad to say about the products I post (in fact, I try to only post good products, because no one wants to read about things that are bad anyway), but when I saw these shoes featured by a more prominent fashion blogger named Mandy Fierens, I had to speak out. Mandy is a stylist for Modcloth, a brand I generally have a lot of respect for because of their unique but tasteful styles. After looking through her outfits, I have a lot of respect for Mandy as well. She's a curvy girl and looks great in everything she wears! But these shoes were an exception. The City Summer Night Heel from ModCloth designer Jeffrey Campbell costs a whopping $125 (see title link), and are probably one of the most atrocious pairs of shoes I have ever seen. To call them heels is to overestimate their classiness. To call them Mod Retro Vintage Heels is just insulting. They are made of blue velvet, and have extra sparkles to stand out. Oh, and that hideous bow? It's clip-on, thankfully, so you can take it off (or hide it on the strap). They promise to stop traffic - oh, you'll stop it all right, but for all the wrong reasons.

Skirt for the Beach!
The Rocawear King Kasuals Skirt is the perfect staple for your summer wardrobe. It has that broken-in look going with the hanging threads at the bottom and a cool 5-pocket embroidery. There are denim patches in the front, too, looking perfectly tasteful. The only catch is, it's $59. If you're going to buy it, make it multipurposeful (see title link). Wear it with leggings, a tank top, or whatever!
