Shoe Tuesday- Buddhist special!
<cue Shoe Tuesday music>
After almost buying a stack of paper dead-people clothes to burn for no-one in particular, I decided to see what the fashionable Buddhist monk is wearing this season.
Turns out, the same as last season- canvas shoes the colour of an old smoker’s fingers.
Since I figured I needed a pair of shoes to wear around the house (and had spent 20 minutes taking photos of everything in the shop, so should really buy something) I got myself some in a size 43.
They are fiendishly uncomfortable, look terrible, and the starting price reflected the fact they thought I was a complete idiot.
Not my smartest ever purchase, but hey, you only life once*.
