Mary Janes are probably my favorite shoe of all time. Could be because I've never really grown up and the innocence that they represent resonates for me somewhere deep in my psyche. Or it could just be cuz they're puuuurrrrtttyyyy. I have low heeled and high heeled and black and assorted colors and my favorites, which I bought for my birthday, are a deep bottle green that's so dark it looks black at a glance.
I'm especially loving what's happening right now with the tap shoe version of everyday, wearable Mary Janes. Ribbon ties and shoelaces are another favorite of mine, so these lovely shoes by Poetic Licence have been making me drool for months and because they're on sale I broke my no-shoes-til-January pledge. But oh well. You can never have too many is all I have to say.
If I were a crazy shoe lady I'd own it in all the colors, but since I'm only a mildly crazy shoe lady, I restrained myself and only bought the ones with the red ribbon:
La Redoute has a fake leather version, but I'm not too big a fan of vinyl/plastic shoes. Someone told me once that vinyl is for records, and I have to agree. But if you're anti-leather, then they're a cute alternative:
I like MaryJanes too!
