Excrutiating feet. Stopped on way home from work and bought extremely plain canvas slip on shoes. I felt they were "old lady shoes", but didn't give a hoot. They were soooooo comfy. I'm now on a mission to find more "LOLS" for myself. ha We're a sisterhood. :)<br />p.s. I think all these little tennies are now in style though. I see so much in fashion nowadays that may be ugly, but is so on trend.

Who knew that trainers like these would still be so good?<br />Vans! They are several notches cooler than my Keds, but the fit is better for me in the heel and toebox. But Keds, Vans or Converse ... we're all still those kids, it seems!<br />So happy you stopped by.

A noisy, boisterous young person. I like it!<br />I'm talking to all you youngsters out there! <br />Why not Keds Champions? You should know ... they're cool here, and were cool when I was about 15. So long ago! I'm shocked they are still being made! I just like the shape of the "whitewalls" and the toe box better than Vans and Converse iterations. <br />Thank you ... I like how this looks, too. I'm a big fan of Old Navy's brand of printed stretch trousers. They're called Pixie Pants ....that appeals to me, for some reason.

Generally, I'm either barefoot or in heels (or boots with heels) ... seems like there's not much in between in my closet. Time to embrace mid-range footwear, it seems. Fun to reclaim this retro look ... here's where I admonish those who object to me wearing a style that I have worn in previous decades that they should bite me.

I remember, in my early teen years, wearing white tennies all year except a few weeks around Christmas. Dan, surprisingly, nuts about this outfit ... I know it brings back memories of some unattainable girl in his freshman English class. Fun to bring a little of that time forward to the now ... a very different thing than trying to go back. <br />Thank you, Little White Cat, for your sweet comments.
