Mardi Gras is about decadence and what can be more decadent that these shoes? Fat Tuesday (as in good, old-fashioned gluttony) is for doing it up and letting your freak – or snob! – flag fly. So let people stare. You just can’t live your life based on what other people think, especially when it comes to fashion. Take a cue from the hedonistic holiday and go with your heart, celebrating freedom of expression. We’re not birds – girls are the ones who really show off. Shake your tail feather and live it up!
