Gulp I settled for JS booties.

I bought the same ones! I'm not positive I will be keeping them but like you said, it's a great throwaway piece. I'm not sure these booties will be in next year so I don't want to plunk down too much cash. Plus the cushioning in the ball of the foot made these really comfy. Congrats! They're cute. I love that blue.
 
Ditto to PP, NO on big spending $$$$'s towards extravagent trends. However these booties are very comfortable and doable for heavy clomping around.

I think our little Jessica is becoming the next Steve Madden. I'll give it to her on marketing know how, quality and price.
 
I was perusing the new NM catalog and they were showing Nanette Lepore's new booties. Guess what?? Nan and Jess must of had a "girls night out", the two are very similar.
