black flats

today, i left the house wearing these 6 year old marc by marc jacobs studded suede flats (i refuse to get rid of them even though the suede is all scuffed up, the studs keep falling off, and i had to get them re-soled three times):

stopped by the mall on my lunch break for a quick browse of the nordstrom half yearly sale, and came across these tory burch flats in my size AND 40% off:  

so now, old m by mj shoes are in a box sitting in my trunk.  i'm still not getting rid of them, but they will be retired to the shelf so the studs don't keep falling off :).
