a timeframe surrounds the pictures i hold.

converse low-tops in white, grey, red & shrinking violet.

i know i want these shoes. that much is a certainty. what i don't know is if i would rather shell out fourty three dollars on a more muted colour like grey or white, the traditional red or the less popular salmon shade. attracted to red by nature, i can't help but keep said colour in mind, while the two neutrals are featured solely for their practicality. which leaves shrinking violet - i'm nearly convinced that it is this exact colour that was blogged about by the moderniteter girls not too long ago, & since then i've searched high and low for a canadian equivalent. albeit hard to come by in stores, the colour is available online (which means a dreadful twenty dollar international shipping fee is also of order). it should also be said that the old saying is true: you always want what you can't have. and in this situation, as most other shoes could easily be found, it's these violet beauties which i am inevitably longing for.

zoë.

I like the white and red but since I'm sloppy, I would probably get the red and white.
