Mouse Shoes by Marc Jacobs

SO back in the day, when I worked as an assistant buyer at the Macy's North Headquarters (before they consolidated - boo) I had a lovely little employee discount.

How did I abuse this discount?  Shoes. And more shoes.  My favorite purchase above all was the following:

How could these not bring smiles to your face when you put them on your feet?  That was over 3 years ago.  I still wear them to this day... still one of my "go to" pieces with a pair of pearl earrings.  But sadly to say they are starting to show their years of chasing a 2 1/2 year old.  The little metallic pink noses are getting a little dirty :(  but I still get comments on them every time I wear them :)

So on and off I have been searching for a replacement pair.  Of course he has come out with black ones, pink ones, metallic ones... but nothing with quite the personality I was looking for...

Until I stumbled on these:

So now - these are a a little more recent than my last purchase so now I know exactly what I am going to get myself for a "yay" you just had a kid... but let's hold off on buying a whole new wardrobe until you lose the baby weight gift.

If my husband was super smart - he would read this post - go into my closet find my mouse shoes - check the size and then hunt these down... to show me that he could "read my mind" and buy me the perfect gift.

What I am expecting is this - my husband going into my closet - finding my mouse shoes - and pulling them out saying "look, you already have a pair, I found them.  Why would you need another pair?"

I am going to have to pull the "because it is my birthday month" logic on him.... I just know it... and if all else fails I will use the "I just had your kid" logic.

To be continued - wish me luck in my hunt!

P.S. Can you tell that I have kind of gotten a little "too pregnant" for projects right now?  I am sure there will be more project posts coming - right now I am just dreaming about shoes my feet can actually fit into at the moment.... sigh.
