I hope so, CJY! I feel better when I look pulled together and in NYC, when it's slick with rain or ice or snow, I have to limit myself to wearing less-than-fab shoes, and it really does affect how I go through the day.
And these would be great because I'm such a dress fiend! My closet's so full of dresses and aside from throwing on a great pair of VPs (which I just got my 12th pair the other day -- VPs and platformed YoYos), I throw on nice, high heeled boots. Been looking for a fab pair in a shorter heel in black for about 2 years. Finally found these!
