Yikes! This strange sandal from Chinese Laundry makes my eyes hurt. Called the Scarlett Sandal, the open-toe thong seems normal for summer... but then you look toward sculpted heal and there you see this awkwardly placed fringe ankle strap. It reminds me of a lamp shade from the 70's or a cowgirl who got lost on they way to the beach.
UPDATE: Vogue included the Chinese Laundry Scarlett Sandal on their "Most Wanted" list for March 5th which was compiled by Meredith Melling Burke. You can check that out here (thanks to ShoeMeThis blog reader Marley). While I completely disagree with Vogue's selection, it goes to show style is anyone's interpretation. If you own this pair, I'd love to see it actually on someone with a fun outfit. Maybe it looks better as a full ensemble! Send your pics to shoemethis@gmail.com
