Sheila's Shoe Shine Saturday

There is a blooger who I have read for 2 or 3 years. She is fearless and I am sure that her co-workers can't wait to see what she is wearing. I was talking to Doc about stuff, and out of the blue he says" Well, girls plan out what they are going to wear and they want to show their friends. That's what girls like to do." Amen, my friend. So, anyway, Sheila has this fun thing she does, where you show some of your favorite shoes to everyone. And thus I shall. Cuz that's what girls like to do.

I have decided to showcase one of my oldest pair of shoes. These are a perennial favorite, and I have worn them in every season of the year (keep in mind that I live in Huntington Beach, SoCal). They are Italian, made by Leopoldo Giordano. They were prioced at $130 in 1990, but there's a story behind that. But first, a tease - the box.

There is a boutique in Newport Beach called The Queen Bee. They have awesome stuff. The first year of the business, they bought too much, and so fortunately for me, they had a big sale. So I bought 5 pairs of shoes. Four are still alive, including these. They were really discounted, something like 75%. They have a pale blue sole with pink stitching. They have a closed heel and an open toe decorated with a two tone butterfly. They also have contrast topstitching all over them.

Here is a side view. So what will I wear these with? Well, you will see later this week. I know, it's mean. But then you have to come back.
