Well folks, ,while I'm on the subject of Jake and Mandi's wedding, I'll talk about the shoes I wore that day. Navy blue T-straps, in a rather 30's-40's retro style. I bought these on ebay to go with my vintage dress, also found on the 'bay.

I also wore these navy shoes ALL DAY to my home town's Sesquicentennial Celebration. I was to dress in the period of the 1850's, and Scarlett's blue velvet "Portrait Gown" from Gone With the Wind was as close to accurate as I had. I have to wear high heels as this dress is too long for me, even with the hoop. Here is a photo of our group, "150 years ago"~ my mom is on my left. Click on the photo to see details.
Psst... I'm also corseted! But that's for another post in the future!

Those shoes and that vintage dress are awesome! And you can be sure that no one will have an outfit just like it!
That is a great costume of Scarlett's dress! That must be a lot of fun recreating dresses from movies!
Yeah, more shoes. And your frocks are just beautiful.
Good morning Nikki :)
I feel like I've been gone forever LOL
You know I love the portrait dress, but that frock you wore to the wedding is precious and those shoes! LOVE them :)
off to read more...
