Impulse purchase may have been impulsive, although I'd looked at the new arrivals on the brand website the day before. There may have been some squinting at the screen muttering 'is that teal? duck egg? actually green? aaaargh'.
Some of it's brand loyalty, which they reinforce by continuing to produce Interesting Details, neat colours in shiny-but-not-patent leather, a fairly comfortable footbed for my feet, and nicely rounded toes. See, a lot of brands put a relatively pointed toe on their ballet flats (an example), which I really don't care for, and also I tend to start scuffing the bloody hell out of shoes that are pointier than anticipated.
They just haven't done a flat in Green in quite some time. Possibly since '09, but it's hard to say given they don't have a list of previous awesome nicely posted somewhere.
Sooooo I've been squinting hopefully at their spring and fall collections for years, hoping they'd make a Dorothy lookalike (*flaily hands* I gloated about having Green Shoes for over a year after impulse buying a pair whilst on a hunt for new bras. I hadn't realised that was a Thing, but apparently that's a Thing. The leafy cutouts in a bluer contrasting texture just made everything better).
