On Monday, I posted my new 2009 Identity. Since then, I’ve made some changes and additions.
These Jeffrey Campbell peep toe booties have that Ann D. vibe that I’ve been looking for but beyond that, I love the huge flaps. They’re like mini wings for your feet! Even though these are seriously fierce, they’re more comfortable than you’d think. The laces are actually elastic and though they take awhile to get perfectly adjusted, once they’re in place, you’re off and running! Since I’m not really a sandals person during the summer months, these will work just fine.
♥ Type is lurking everywhere if you look closely enough! I pulled these items together from the bulletin boards in my office. View The Typofiles set on Flickr here.
