Let us revisit my 7th most popular all-time post, a look at the pressing problem of which designer shoes to wear while reading to your children! I have MORE THOUGHTS.

If you’re reading this:51E5pc-taNL._SX260_

…wear these!

Irregular Choice Chuckles ShoeIrregular Choice Gnome Heels $164.95! (Yes, I know that’s not a dwarf. Do you think I was born yesterday? FINE, you can wear these shoes while reading Liesl Shurtliff’s excellent middle-grade novel Rump — a retelling of Rumplestiltskin with GNOMES — if you’re that inflexible. And I feel sorry for you. You need to loosen up.)

Charlotte Olympia Hollywood Lettered Wedge Sandal, $1195!

If you’re reading this, Mo Willems’s delightful silent-film-inflected picture book:

Wear these!

lulupngCharlotte Olympia “Starlet” Swarovski-detailed Louise Brooks flats, £495, or $771 in regular-people money! (These can do double duty. Wear them again when you’re reading Just One Day by Gayle Forman, a lulu of a young adult novel that travel-loving women who were once excessively-people-pleasing good girls will adore. And you’ve just halved your cost-per-wear!)

    SOMEDAY I am going to wear a pair of Irregular Choice shoes. To what absolutely swanky occasion I know not yet, but SOMEDAY.

    I daresay I will not step on a gnome to do so, however.

    I must have those Jeremy Scott sneaks!! So cute. Irregular Choice is consistently great for quirky shoes – I bet lots of them would fit children’s books.
