The one that got away: Mary Jane.

Okay, I need to you listen to this while you're reading this post.  No seriously.  Do it.  Have you pressed play?  Come on.  Yes?  Alright, good, you may continue.


I like this post title.  Not only do I manage to get in a Katy Perry lyric, but it also sounds like I'm somehow referencing marijuana. No, but the real order of business here is that--well, let me just walk you through it.  It's 2am.  I'm trying to get myself to edit a video.  So I'm trying to exhaust all interest that the internet might hold (an impossible endeavor) so I will have no choice but to edit.  I'm watching Jenn's videos and on one of her outfits I am struck.  I am kicked if you will.  Shoes.  The shoes.  I need those shoes.

 So I spend a stupid amount of time scouring the internet for what I learn are Sole La Vie strapped pumps.  Convincing myself they hold everything in life I could ever want in a dress shoe, maybe even bring me good fortune--who the hell knows.  At this point I was crazed.  They were perfect:  closed/ round toe, chunky walkable heel, ankle strap of glory. And it's sold out.  Sold out everywhere never to return my heart breaks I will never find another as perfect to me as you, Sole La Vie As If! Strapped Pumps.

This happens to me with clothing items from time to time.  I'll search for them obsessively online even though I know they're long gone.  I can't be the only one that does this though.  I'd be curious to know what your long lost item(s) is.
