Do you prefer fashion victim or ensembly challenged?

Okay, so I want a pair of gladiator sandals. I just do.
The following list underlines why I feel nervie about this purchase:
A. They are super fucking trendy. And while I love me some LiLo, I don’t exactly want to dress like her. I mean, let’s face it, after the gladiator sandals it would just be one leggings-wearing, bleach blonde hair-dying, British lady DJ dating slippery slope down self-tanner mountain. I guess I have shown my ass and vadge to half of Washington, DC, so perhaps I’m more like Linz than I give myself credit for. Anyway, back to the list.
B. It is the end of July and that means there is only 2 months (tops) of sandal-wearing weather left this year. Would it make sense to spend a wad on a pair of summery sandies?
C. As many of you ladies know, I have roughly 4893094304930 pairs of shoes. I wear two pairs. One is a pair of flats I got in London 3 years ago that I just can’t get rid of even though they are destroyed; the other is my Havianas flip flops. Just perhaps, I don’t need another pair of ridiculous shoes that I won’t exactly wear.
The following list underlines why maybe I think a pair of these guys might be nice for me:
A. I secretly love trendy shit.
B. I think they look really cute with super short shorts and tiny summery dresses.
C. I saw the below picture of Gwyneth Paltrow in the latest In Style and fell in love with her outfee. I know a lot of people don’t like her that much, but I still do. And I mean, come on, just look at her. She looks pretty fucking fantastic.
D. I like to buy stuff.
Okay, ladies – am I allowed to purchase these ridiculous things? And if so, where do I purchase them? I went to UO yesterday (stop judging me) and they didn’t really have any. I also don’t really want to buy a pair that will fall apart after like 5 wears.
When I was in Baltimore this weekend not attending Whartscape I tried on a pair of white beauties at Shine. They were lovely, but I was told that ankle straps make my legs look stubby. I concur.
So, YAYAYYAYAYYAY! or NAYNAYAYAYNAYAYAY?
