Court shoes 1990

I reckon from 1982 until around 2002 I wore a lot of court shoes. Some were stillettos, some had pointy toes, some had square toes. Black, brown, turquoise, navy, cream and dark green with little black bows.

I'd show you, but I gave them all to the op shop just a few months ago when it became clear I was never going to wear heels again.

But this is what they looked like.

          

The most exciting pair were probably the orange ones I bought in Oxford Street for my "going away" outfit when I married Peter in the UK in 1990. I still have these, along with the orange silk dress and matching clutch. I also have the wedding shoes - similar style but white (of course) with grass stain trimmings. I bought those in Bath - a lovely day out by train from where I was living in Bracknell, Berkshire (best known for its roundabouts and multi-storey car parks).
