My Shoe Chronicles — Vintage Gold Buckles
Not much of a story for these. They’re gold. They sparkle. They’re vintage. They’re perfect.
I picked them up at a thrift store and some of the rhinestones had fallen out of the buckles. One day while I was downtown in the garment district, I happened to remember that I needed some pointed-back stones. I had the clerk pull out a few sizes and then just guessed which ones would work.
I’m still amazed that I somehow guessed correctly when I hadn’t actually looked at the shoes for months before I bought the stones.
