See for yourself:

These shoes give me a bad case of Existential Shoe Angst*. Nothing about them says pretty to me - they're brown and clunky and frumpy and yet I love them and I want them. Why?
US$49.99 from Ruche, the Pink Studio "Jona" oxford pumps would look pretty awesome paired with a pencil skirt and turtleneck sweater for that whole 'librarian' look.
* Actual psychological condition, honest. Take two Louboutins and read me in the morning.
