Today's Shoes

Day

In honor of a day that promised to have a lower chance of rain than any day in the past two weeks, I broke out the good shoes again: Cleverley size-elastic shoes with hand-sewn one-piece apron in burgundy calf. Have I mentioned recently how perfect side-elastic shoes are? Perhaps I should get a wholecut with a floating medallion next...

Evening

Continuing with the I'm-so-glad-that-it's-not-raining-today theme, I decided on my Gravati cap-toe bals with reversed seams and a stitching detail on the toe cap and throat that imitates brogueing in tobacco suede (16492, 655 last). Suede is traditionally a material for the fall and winter, but I pretty much ignore that convention.
