Fancy Car=Fancy Shoes

So for some reason, completely unbeknownst to me, a friend is letting me borrow her brand-new Audi Q5 SUV this weekend (I only know exactly what it is because I love their Identity Theft ad series, complete with cute kids in Converse). Living in New York City, I rarely find myself behind the wheel, much less behind a fancy wheel, and so I'm a little bit flummoxed by the fact that she's so trusting. Also, I'm taking said car to the Elephant Trunk Flea Market (an amazing cache of awesome steals, every Sunday, in a field in New Milford, CT), so I plan on filling its trunk with all sorts of random scuff-creating treasure—last time I was there, I bought a gigantic Marie Antoinette-style painting, some African trading beads, 15 silk scarves, and a chair.

Anyway, I feel like an Audi deserves an Audi-appropriate outfit—totallyprepped out but chic—like a crisp white buttondown, a pair of well-fitting khakis, and some J.P. Tods Driving Loafers. But said loafers (even these, which are on sale at Bluefly) aren't in my budget, particularly when who knows what I'll find to spend money on at the flea. Ditto for Belgian Shoes, which I have a real affinity for. Sadly, the Sperry's that Suzanne blogged about this morning aren't quitein stores yet. (Don't think I won't buy at least four more pairs.) So instead, I might splurge on this suede moc from J. Crew, which look super comfy—plus, I love the dusky pink shade.
