Little Black Pump

I am moving to Paris in 10 days and for the duration of my stay there — a treacherous-seeming four months — I will not purchase a single pair of shoes. Blame the small matter of unemployment or the even smaller one of my already-crammed suitcases. This in the most fashionable city in earth, a place where women actually follow the no-carry-and-switch rule in favor of good old fashioned discomfort, where heel caps don't stand a chance on the cobbles in Montmatre.
I have no idea what I will do, or how I will resist, but I fear being shod American-style in Payless and Chuck Taylors, like every good little eighteen-year-old etudiente.
This should prove interesting.

1. I am so excited for you.
2. My boyfriend's roommate's family lives in Paris and I met them once earlier this year when they were in the states, and his three younger sisters were all wearing Chuck Taylors. I assume they also wear them in Paris. But they're also from Tennessee so I don't know how much this helps you, actually.
