christian shoes perhaps eccentric

I Christian Louboutin Pumps on sale Zappos for the thru! of it." "Sometimes I Zappos too much," confesses another woman. The Zappos surfer, however, also has crazy taste - crazy as in Yeats's "crazy salad": mixed up, jumbled, inconsistent, even disorderly. The word crazy, deriving from cracked, is impUcidy derogatory, suggesting fracture and disarray. What's pejorative in Yeats, though, Fd tweak to make positive - eclectic, christian shoes perhaps eccentric, but capacious and open to surprise. At Zappos, recendy acquired by Amazon for $850 milUon, you can peruse selections of some 54 designer Unes from Celine to Sergio Rossi, from Christian Lacroix to Nanette Lepore; you can scan 16 pages of Kate Spade and 23 of Marc Jacobs. But you can also access 486 pages (or, with 99 pairs per page, 59 pages total) of casual flats, most below $50 and a few for several hundred. This kind of passion is about variety, which includes, Christian Louboutin Sandals but isn't limited to, the great buy, the splurge, the exotic, the humble, the outrageous, the homelyyeomanly. It's a variety about exercising the coUector's eye, about style over currency, about, in a word, freedom - freedom from the customary, the expected, the accepted.
"Imagine a shoe," writes essayist Janet Lyon, "it doesn't have to be expensive or rare - a shoe that stands you up on the bails of your feet so that you tower above everyone else." Why shouldn't the desirabiUty of a shoe be determined on a case-by-case basis? Why shouldn't each woman's Louboutin Boots taste stem from and serve her quirky individuaUty? It's another way of thinking about true fit. "Nothing pleases me more than people commenting on my shoes," a fellow enthusiast told me.
