Spring just amazes me. Growing up in Miami we never really had a Spring. When I moved to North Carolina it was in the summer. The next March all of the trees started flowering and blooms were everywhere. At first I didn't really know what the heck was going on. My husband, from the north, said "This is what Spring is like." It dawned on me that I'd never really experienced the change of seasons like that before.
These vintage shoes totally make me think of Spring.
I got these from eBay. I love the 50's/60's shape but the color is great too.
But the embroidery on the leather is what makes the connection for me. They look like the green sprigs on our maple trees.
I like to think these were worn to a luncheon or ladies' tea or some such event. They would be perfect with a shirtwaist patterned dress with green in the design. Maybe I need to find one that would go with them.
