old lady shoes



meine alte Jungfer schuhe

i got these shoes while my mom was here
this past December 2007
she, or we, were in the frenzy x-mas shopping
the shoes were on sale!
really cheap for some fake liz clairbone shoes
not that i care for brands but i do like the nice NOT leather
and nice built on a pair of shoes
they were my size
and the most important part
they are very comfortable for walking
and perfect fit for the office...

anyway, they were on sale
they were 'somehow' my style
flat, moccasin, black conservative shoe

but today, that i finally wore them for the 1st time
oh, they really look old-fashioned...
and i know i am getting to be an old-lady
reading Agatha Christie mysteries and
crackling laugh... but
damn looking at my feet today with the old-lady shoes
and these gray tights, really made me feel
like an old lady, but a happy silly one

i always figured i could end up
like one of these ladies that like mysteries
like legendary Miss Marple
or at least like Jessica Fletcher!
the "Murder, she wrote"
by Angela Lansbury
i would be flattered if i do!!
oh my role models heh heh

by now just at least
i already have
1. the old-fashioned detective literary taste
and...
2. the old maid shoes

what's next?

The glasses and the hairdo...

My mom LOVE Agatha, the 13th problems, those little short-seeing rodents and that Jane M. lady... and of course, huge fan of Jessica Fletcher... she was always trying to solve the "mysteries" before her... I wonder how would she have done with the Scooby Doo's riddles?

Hallo Bere,

I like those shoes they are good looking and you say they are comfortable to to wear.
However, I asked my wife and she said those shoes are old fashioned.

Anyway, fashion is created by people who frequently look as if they come out of a horror movie. So just go on carrying those good looking oldies.

I once heard a German countess saying "fashion is for typist girls
and for people who don't have a taste of their own". How do you like this?

Cheers
Georg

oh i think i lost a comment here, i will try to repeat since i am not sure you all got it or not

beto!
here this weekend i watch this:

KPBS
Channel 15
i am sure your mom would appreciate it, i haven't read Agatha in English, just in Spanish, so my challenge is to read her in English, one day... soon? heh heh

and the hair-do and glasses are on their way too!, i wear glasses already and pony-tail, just need to evolve to more old-fashioned ones but surely it's coming soon :)

and Chio and Georg, i appreciate your comments on my old-lady or sick-sister shoes!

Georg your wife is wife agreeing they are old-fashioned shoes, they are indeed... and the quote, thank you! and yes i believe personal taste to be more 'interesting' than worldly fashion statements, agreeing with the Deutsche-Duchess, I think she got it, even if personal taste is a risky matter anyways, more enjoyable that the taste of the masses, huh?... and over all, yes! comfort, they are comfortable so they are becoming part of the every-day routine, perhaps we will see them again, once they are old and over-used

Thank you all and have a lovely Sunday!
Feliz Doming Chio!

But I love your shoes! They look very nice and the tights just match very well!!
Dont worry about what being old fashioned means..I agree with Georg, have your own fashion! That's what I am trying to do as well..and there are terrible fashions anyway. Can't imagine myself gettint out in Leggings! Goodness! :) All the best, Dear!
