A few days ago, I received an e-mail advisory from Neiman Marcus, revealing that the must-have purchase for the new season is The Statement Shoe.<\/p>\n

I believe I have found The Statement Shoe! It’s a fake-vintage red sneaker by Golden Goose<\/strong>, selling for $420. Its statement is “Screw The Economy!” Or maybe “Look, I’m an Idiot!”<\/p>\n

Stylebop.com<\/a> is nice enough to plan out a whole look for this Statement Shoe.<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n

All together, this look will set you back $2,070, which I think is more than fair. If you’re willing to pay 400 bucks for some pre-battered sneakers, what the hell! You might as well spend ten or twenty thousand on the clothes to wear with it.<\/p>\n

If I wasn’t so lazy, I could get out my red Converse lowtops from under the bed and wear them with some denim shorts, a nothing cardigan, a lame t-shirt and some necklaces….and then I’d look just as pathetic, for free.<\/p>\n

Last month, some fashion magazine had the nerve to suggest: “Shop Your Own Closet!<\/strong>” As if I want any of the crap in my closet. \u00a0 I hate to admit it, but now I see their point. I’ve just saved $2,070!<\/p>\n

Maybe tomorrow I’ll go check out my closet and buy one of those leather jackets in there, if I can get a good deal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
