If I drive south about an hour to Bishop, CA I can attend "Mule Days," a fun little rodeo utilizing mules instead of horses.
What I can't seem to find are mule shoes, at least not the ones that I want.
Here is what I'm looking for:
A cheap version of these beautiful specimens from Celine. But, it is difficult to even find how much these cost (you run into "Price available upon request", which doesn't even allow you to imagine emptying out your entire savings account for these delicate pieces, dang it). So, off to peruse euro-websites in search for the perfect $50 pair. No biggie, right? WRONG.
Upon searching "mules" on numerous sites, the uglies below are the best I've come up with. To be honest, I would rather wear a big smelly, large-eared animal on my feet.
Is what I'm looking for technically a mule? Is it a boot? Is it a high heel? Is it a sandal? I've even tried search terms such as "Rear-entry, high heal, closed toe," channeling 80s ski boot terms to get what I want. NOTHING.
HEY ONLINE SHOPPING WORLD: IF I WANTED CROCS OR DANSKOS, I WOULD HAVE SEARCHED "CROC-of-$%#" and "WAITRESS SHOE". These clunkers are a far cry from what I'm looking for.
Apparently, the rest of the cheap shoe world has not caught up with Celine and related beautiful mule-making couture designers. In the meantime, I'm on a shopping hold per family agreement, so even the orange stingers below can't be mine.
Oh yea, and I stopped drinking for the entire month of February. More on that stupid decision later.
Love love.
