Casadei tortoiseshell trim ankle-strap peep toe platforms

Tortoiseshell really is everywhere, isn't it? I would blame myself, but I don't think I have that kind of power (yet)! It must be something in the water that's making everyone come out with shoes trimmed with the print. Some styles come off better than others, and these Casadei ankle-strap platforms possibly have a bit too much going on. What do you think? Perhaps without the metallic heel they'd be worth the $374.95 asking price. Or perhaps not.
