MMTPT165: For the big REUNION, of course I am bringing my saddle shoes with the RED gum soles. When I grew up in the 50's, these were a MUST! So were the white wool socks that had to be worn with them. Poodle skirts came and went, but these shoes were still a staple!! That is, until I moved in my Junior year in HS..........everyone wore flats and stockings. Boy! Was I out of sync!!
My 50th reunion was this year. Therefore, I think I am the go-to person for style for the teaparty!!
P.S. Inside it says "GASP!"

Hmm, I don't think those shoes ever made it over here - at least not in their home era. I don't think poodle skirts did either - I'd never heard of them till this morning. Or else I'm just more clued in on Fifties music than anything else. Perfect image, judging by all the research I had to do - and I, too, love the shoelace detail.

Oh Anne Spin me down memory lane! I love your shoes! I had a pair just like those, and wore the soles off of them! Thanks for the memory and the smile!
