Dammit, I'd give you mojo, but I'm not allowed
Never feel ashamed for your shopping threads - I love them!
I'm a ballet flats gal too, so I totally understand your purchases - where would we be without our shoes?!
Edited to add: I'm currently lusting after this cool pink tweedy coat, which I'd wear with jeans...I can't get it out of my head. Grrrrrrrrrr...
