All this talk about heel height this week has me thinking fondly of the days when clogs were more clog-like and less of a fashion statement. Those days are not that far gone. And fortunately there are people like the vintage clothing sellers of Etsy.com who are keeping those memories and shoes alive. I sat down with my MacBook Pro Friday morning and unearthed a wonderful variety of style options. Unfortunately, size is a factor as always when you go thrifting. Still, seeing some of the best of what was gives me hope for what I may yet find to be. And my goodness, there certainly were some fun shoes that got made back in the day.
Hope you're having a satisfying Halloween weekend.

Ahh! I'm legit wearing the ones from James Rowland Shop in cognac today. Scored them on eBay for way less than $145 though. Gotta love a bargain!

I send my admiration and envy your way! I had a pair of Mary Janes built on that same sole when Kinney Shoes was selling them years ago, but they werent quite my size. I finally had to cave to the physics of the matter and send them on their way. Feel free to send a pic of your score so that we may all gather around to Ooo and Ahh!
