Twinkle toes

In 2002 I discovered that shoes could be exciting.

My sister and I shouted our mother a weekend in Melbourne so that we could see Man of La Mancha starring Anthony Warlow together.

It was our first Mother-Daughters weekend since we'd left home following university. We left our kids at home with their dads. My boys were 6 and 3, my sister's, in Sydney, a few years older.We had a lovely apartment near the gardens and  thoroughly enjoyed the whole weekend, agreeing we must do it again soon. Sadly, we haven't.


I bought these shoes in Myer and they seemed really radical, because of the wonderfully pointy toes. They were certainly the first shoes I bought that people stopped to comment on.

In 2002, brown was the new black, and surprisingly stayed popular for several years.

I don't wear them so much now that black is back.

  1. Love pointy shoes.
    I still wear some brown stuff. I look after my things too well sometimes.
    A special memory Beth. At least you did it once - how wonderful.

  2. Yes, Mary, I still have quite a bit of brown. It's such a good colour for a redhead. (or someone who used to be a redhead!)

    So I'll be all ready to go when it comes back in again.
