Oh Oscar...

I feel like you, Mr. De la Renta, are one of the last great designers left in the industry...but your name is painfully long so I am just going to call you OdlR from here on out. So, I just perused your Spring 2013 collection and I must say that I think the shoes are lovely! They have great color, feminine details, and they feel like SPRING! What a concept!

I'm really not quite sure what to call this style of shoe. Is it a SANDAL? How much of the foot has to be covered to call a shoe a BOOTIE? I'll be waiting for a stern, abrasive, explanation from the Fashion Overlords any moment. Whatever it is it looks like fun to wear, with added wind/debris protection for my ankles...these will be my battle shoes when the Overlords come looking for me. Sandootie? Boodal? Whatever...
