Chuck it Out

Closing the Generation Gap
The ultimate shoe for closing the fashion gap is the heeled oxford. Grandmother wore the oxfords to school with her poodle skirt and bobbysocks. The modern teen adds two or three inches to them and puts on a pair of skinny jeans to make it work. Thankfully, the heels on them can be found relatively low and chunky so Grandma can wear them without worrying about s twisted ankle. Of course, should her grand-daughter find herself a tall drink of water to date, the heeled oxford comes in a thin four-inch as well.
Ooooooooh, haters!

Where do I begin?
There are a few quotes I have on shoes that may just answer that question. Since I cannot possibly say it better than it already has been said, read the originals:
"Shoes are the best indicator of how people are feeling."
--June Swann
"In a way that few possessions can, shoes tell stories of individuals, geographic areas, cultures and human history. They may discretely reveal clues about the owner, or boldly proclaim their ethnicity, economic status and sense of style."
"Shoes are pure sex."
--Anita Loos
"Baby booties to orthopedic sandals, we spend most of our waking lives in shoes, and from them we may learn something about our culture, our history, and ourselves. Last, far from least, they can be drop-dead gorgeous."
--Cathy Newman
I ask you, how can anyone deny the importance of the shoe? Incroyable! This blog is not only dedicated to the shoes, their meaning, importance, and brilliance, but it is also dedicated to show others how to use a shoe to the greatest extent of its worth.
