Dead Old Ladies

Sweater, Forever 21. Dress, Ann Taylor Loft. Necklace and brooch, thrifted. Bag, No Boundaries. Shoes, Vanelli (thrifted).

Part of my trouble with thrifting shoes is that I am only attracted to the vintagey footwear. Why bother thrifting something I could buy new at Payless or Target for only a few bucks more? I gravitate toward the old and unusual shoes – the kind that end up at the thrift store when someone dies. Unfortunately, most of the dead old ladies seem to have worn a size 6 shoe. I was lucky to find this pair, donated by an unusually bigfooted, size-seven-and-a-half-shoe-wearing lady.
