My Shoe Chronicles — 80s Brown Flats
I took pics of some of my shoes for a project that has now run its course. Rather than file them away and forget about them, I’m blogging them. Why not? I mention my extensive wardrobe, but I don’t always put my money where my mouth is. So this is my chance.
I am the same size I was in high school and I don’t get rid of as much stuff as I should. I love vintage and second hand shopping, but I’ve had some stuff so long it’s now considered vintage anyway! I’ve got more than 250 pairs of shoes and boots spanning many decades. The ones I’ve photographed aren’t always the strangest, they’re just some of my favorites. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
They’re cute, they’re funky, they’re like totally 80s and they only cost me a couple of bucks second hand, but they are one of my most comfortable pairs of shoes for summer.
I’ve worn them on a few extra gigs, too. Strangely, though, I wasn’t playing 1980-something. They were modern day shoots. I suppose no one really pays attention to what extras have on their feet, but still, I thought it was strange that the costumers had me wear them. That was one of those days when I just slid on the nearest pair of shoes as I headed out the door. The other gig, I simply didn’t have another brown pair of flats that matched the outfit I was bringing.
