we had a great time shoe shopping in hong kong. we splurged. i’ve always thought the reason i can never find shoes is because my feet are gorked. it turns out they’re only partially gorked (love my orthotics); i just have unusually small feet for north america. i bought a pair of super cute but somewhat impractical sandals because they were a SIZE FOUR :D !!! however, this does reinforce the fact that i can never find shoes: usually size 6 is the smallest available in the store, and on a really good day, maybe one pair of size 5. sigh.

hi kimu!

Also, piping! material sewn in a tube (hence “pipe”) and then sewn again onto the outlines of an item of clothing (think sailor’s uniforms, etc.). Although now that I look at those lovely shoes again, I can’t tell if the red is piping or trim (no tube, just contrast).

Oh, fashion.
