I think it started a few seasons ago when I set my sights (unrealistically) on the cutest pair of Kate Spade flats with a hot pink cap toe. They were beautiful. I am dying for her to bring them back (preferably after I get my own job so I can afford them) because I can't pass them up again.
There is something about the playfulness of a pop of color that makes it seem like you're trying to be cute and fun, without wearing a bright color shoe that practically screams "I'M TRYING TO BE FUN."
I love them. And they pop up everywhere, making it more and more difficult for me to resist. Even Andrew can tell I love this trend--for Christmas he got me a pair of Toms that just happen to have a maroon cap on each toe.
And now, J. Crew factory has the most beautiful pair of pink flats with a pink toe that I can't stop thinking about. I'm not ready to splurge yet, but as soon as they're on sale I'm making moves.
Or at least, begging my mom to.

Obviously, there's a fixation theme here. The pink. I'm clearly over winter and I'm ready to start wearing Springtime brights.
On a side note, how perfect are those Kate Spade for Keds? If I were more of a sneaker wearer (and had $80 to blow) I'd be all about those.
For now, I'm going to keep looking at these J. Crew Factory flats, placed safely in my shopping cart, until I go home to the outlets and kill myself (and my bank account) buying them.
I love #1/4!
