These shoes would probably have escaped my notice entirely, were it not for that sculpted gold heel, which gives them a bit of a "costume" feel. That's just fine by me - if you can't get a little theatrical with your footwear, when can you? - and I think the wavy sides are the perfect complement to the heel. Both elements help turn what would've been a pair of ordinary black Mary Janes into something that merits a second look: there's also a concealed platform, to give you a bit of extra height.
These are $358.95 at Amazon.
