From: Talbots
Purchased: mid 90s
Cost: $39
Another pair of shoes that make me smile! And another for the history books, too - this is the very first pair of shoes I ever bought from Talbots, and when I got them I considered them super special and only for fancy/formal work occasions. I loved them. But, when I was working at SW, we used to work with a woman based in another city. Every single time we saw this woman - every time - she was wearing a glen plain jacket. Every time. We only saw her in work situations, and usually just one day at a time, but it became a little joke among us, and so since I only wore these shoes in work meetings, there was no way I could wear them with our own little insider glen plaid joke hanging out there, so they've barely gotten any wear the past ten years. I don't know why I didn't pull them out after leaving SW in 2004, perhaps it was too ingrained. I actually really like glen plaid, and all these years later perhaps I can resurrect it. The heels are a little bit chunky, but these could still work today. There's a bit of wear on the front of one, but not terribly so.
Bottom line: keeper!

These look familiar to me- did I find them for you at my local Alexandria store? Possibly. Still cute-like the glen plaid.
