So, these shoes are special!  I found them at DSW, yes, where I find almost ALL of my shoes.  But these, it was like they were calling me from the shelves.  Again - PATENT LEATHER - I love shiny!  And red plaid.  What a combination!

My first thought was sassy work shoes.  A little bit of edge and still appropriate.  I also saw that familiar 'penny loafer' type strap from my elementary school days.
Then I thought, what a great party shoe!  All around a great buy..... THEN... I showed them to people... I love to debut a shoe! 

Here they are at a dinner party.  Easy to walk the room and look great 'seated.'

I LOVED the comments... everything from grunge to naughty school girl!  That's so cool.  I've got some 'wicked' shoes.  I mean, you don't have to wear these Dr. Martens or these super sexy 5 inchers to get a really similar effect.  It seems the combination of patent leather and red plaid just start minds 'awondering.

These shoes are Bandolinos.  I have been looking on the web for a similar shoe.  I found heels and flats on the Bandolino site.  And if you want an edgier (sexier) look, check out these Jones New York heels on DSW.com, they are open toe, so don't forget your pedicure!
