meet miz mooz

Over the weekend I did some shopping. As a rule, I try to avoid shopping. I hate spending money, yet the moment I slap down the plastic, it becomes altogether too easy to do it again and again. I found the professional clothes I need for interviewing—and more.

The highlight of my shopping expedition was meeting Miz Mooz. I met her in the shoe department at Nordstrom’s, and it was love at first sight. Adorable, quirky, and fun, these shoes beckoned from their display. I tried on a pair of pumps, then a pair of slingbacks. Each pair felt like butter, which is the worst thing that can happen when you’re trying to avoid buying shoes. I tried to resist, but shoe lust won out.

Miz Mooz shoes remind me of my favorite Fluevogs but are less exaggerated and less expensive and still funky. And those factors were very, very appealing to me.



I bought two pairs. Passed on the metallic wedge sandals, which took me right back to 1984. It's hardly fair for me to mention them, especially since I can't provide a link to view them online. Divine. Don't really fit my current wardrobe. Here's what I picked up: The black wedges (Teddy) with delicious tan piping that gives them a nice retro feel and the slingbacks (Joey) in mustard (not pictured), an updated neutral color that beats tan/taupe/beige any day.

There's a cute back story about Miz Mooz, but it's in flash so I couldn't copy it from their website. So visit Miz Mooz online and click on the about us button.
