red mary janes

Did you ever have a pair of shoes that you never, ever wanted to give up?

Did they make you feel like a princess in a fairy tale or complete every single outfit you could throw together?

Obviously you were thinking of your red mary janes.

Perfection in shoe engineering.

Some ladies have a wardrobe of black shoes: pumps, wedges, flats, loafters, sling-back mules, open-toed spectators, ankle mid-calf and hip boots. The list could go on forever when you include construction materials.

Black is great. It’s a wardrobe staple. But so is red.

Each spring I fix in my mind the perfect pair of shoes that will carry me through the summer. They have to be fun and go with skirts and jeans. I should be able to wear them to work or shopping on the weekends. I need no-brainer shoes.

I need new red mary janes.
