Just Won't Cut It For Me.

I don't know how I feel about these shoes...... OK I do know how I feel about them. I am in loove with Urban Outfitters. But there are a few things that I don't appreciate: 
  • The ridiculous over-pricing
  • At times, the quality of products
  • That I get a vibe that they sometimes 'try too hard' to be soo artsy and indie and unconventional, which isn't always a bad thing, but is when it results in selling monstrosities like these:

The Jeffrey Campbell Cutout Wedge. What is that? No offence to those who do enjoy the cutout wedges, this is just my take on it. 

Not only is it cut out in the wedge but also in the middle of the shoe itself so it exposes the side of your feet. Whyyy? I'm not a huge fan of wedges to begin with, but cutting part of the wedge out does not make it better. It's like when the fashion industry takes things to higher and stranger levels. Dresses made of lightbulbs for instance. It's just not practical in any way and does not look good. It's sometimes hard to criticize fashion because fashion is art. But this isn't the runway, people. 

Your comments and thoughts on these Cutout Wedge boots?
