Dear Retail Establishments Everywhere,

It's February. It's Wisconsin. It's very definitely winter and will be definitely winter for a few more months.

So even if I did want to wear a rattan floral-print wedge heel (which I don't think I would, because, unless you're Heidi Klum, and I think we can all agree that I am not, wedges are a horrible look), I would look pretty silly in one until the middle of May.

And some of us have been stumbling all over the east side (and I do mean stumbling- I wiped out in a crosswalk the other day) in boots that seriously need to be replaced but NO, you cannot find shoes that have an actual toe.

Well, that's not true. You can find adorable round-toe pumps with a little bow that you don't need but buy anyway and you know what, not the issue here!

So, Retail Establishments. I'd appreciate it if you would keep real shoes around after Christmas. Thank you.

Love,
Kathleen
