And MrB liked it <a href=\"http:\/\/wendybrandes.com\/blog\/2013\/07\/what-wendy-wore-dressing-to-please-a-man-part-ii\/\" target=\"_blank\">a LOT<\/a>. Due to the fit.

The shoes turned themselves into slides with leather ankle bracelets. Fortunately, they still looked fine and I&#8217;m all about the ankle bracelet lately.
