Blue Velvet Loafers

CRUSHING ON CRUSHED VELVET. Urban Outfitters Cooperative navy velvet loafers in size 6, $36. The colour is a darker richer navy than these photos suggest (more like the last photo). Definitely too big on me, even with thick socks. Time to hunt down some super thick insoles. The soles are also super slippery on smooth surfaces - many faceplants barely avoided in the cafeteria. They make a clacky noise when I walk. For some odd reason, they just called out to me when I was shopping with Sydney and they seemed to go with everything. A trusty pair of fashionable flats, be it loafers, oxford wingtips, or ballet flats are a MUST for my daily trekking around campus. Do shoes/clothes ever do that to you or am I the only one crazy in the world who makes friends with inanimate objects ...

But loafers are yummy like a good loaf of my family's cranberry walnut bread. If these really don't work out with some extra thick Dr. Scholls, then a lucky reader will take them away :) By the by, this was 5th day of the 12 Days of Fabulous brought to you by yours truly, the Pandaphiliac.

Readers - do you prefer flats or heels for everyday?
