As a child of the sixties, I remember black and white TV, women with immovable lacquered hair and pants being referred to as "slacks". I also remember shoes like these. They are by Marc Jacobs in patent yellow leather trimmed with gold chain detail and navy patent, and have gold interiors and yellow soles. I fell in love with them at first sight in Bloomingdales on North Michigan Avenue about three or four years ago. At the time I had trouble justifying spending $500 on a pair of statement shoes, however fabulous, so I knew there was a God when our paths crossed again at Macy's sale some months later when they were considerably less expensive. The rest is history. On an almost tropical day, worn with Estee Lauder's Azuree Soleil from some years back, when Tom Ford was curating their fragrances.
