I found these darling shoes at Housing Works Thrift Shop on Columbus for $8. This, from their website:
The Housing Works Thrift Shops occupy seven upscale locations in New York City, selling high-end vintage treasures to bargain hunters and fashionistas alike. The Thrifts not only provide more than $12 million in funding per year, but also ensure a supply of clothing and essentials for our clients.
I love these shoes! And I found a Paul Theroux read for Paul for $4.50. Now, off we go to MEZZOGIORNO in Soho for some Italian eats…more later…

Think they’ll go with my button fly Levi’s from the late eighties/early nineties? Much more feminine than the Chucks : )

Actually they are a size 39 so you weren’t too far off : )
I think that equals 9 here which should work great as I will wear them with sweater tights or knee highs (usually an 8.5 in case anyone wants to get me used shoes in the future). Joking – trying to simplify…

Oh my, those DO look like you! Remember how you and I always wished we could share shoes? And now I see that Rachel and I are the same size and I am guessing she has superb taste in footwear…. : )
Miss miss miss you!

Oh, Chicken! Got your message late last night – will catch up with you in the am, as I am sure you are sleeping now. Perhaps I will call you as I am getting ready for bed…that should be about the time you are waking up! Can’t wait to see you and Chad…
