The Year of the Mule

The Mule - Shoe of Choice for Cinderella and Pretty Woman.
You can find them in the toy aisle of Target - a six pack (well, 12 pack) sold in a mini vinyl suitcase so that your little Disney princess has accessorizing options for her favorite polyester ballgowns



OR
at Fredrick's of Hollywood, where they are sold next to crotchless panties and red lace push up bras.
Here, the options are aplenty - with platform, no platform, rhinestones, feathers, vinyl, lace, hot pink or leopard.



OR
at Bergdorf Goodman in the...
Say what?
Yup. The mule is EVERYWHERE this spring and I'm slowly warming up this "not-quite feminist" shoe du jour. A few of my favorites include:


Chloe available @chloe.com


Gianvito Rossi Available @bergdorfgoodman.com


Kathryn Amberleigh available @kathrynamberleigh.com



Buyer BEWARE:
Do not attempt to pair these with your favorite Alaia corset top or your Herve Leger bandage dress lest you run the risk of being mistaken for a "happy hour companion" at The Peninsula.
Opt, instead, for a flowy midi skirt and blouse. Or, better yet, throw on a baggy jean - either cropped to the ankle or cuffed (as pulling your pant hem out from under foot is very "Un-Cinderella.")
