<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marko, post: 1612048, member: 210&quot;]popsycat, the last high high heels I bought were for my sister&#039;s wedding.&nbsp; I always wanted a clear pair of high heels like Cinderella&#039;s glass slippers.&nbsp; They were open-toe, lucite, gorgeous, about 5 inches high. Every head was turned in the shoe store when I walked around in them.&nbsp; I had the shoemaker put an extra hole in the ankle buckle strap.&nbsp; I was a bridesmaid, and the wedding was in Pittsburgh.</p><p><br /></p><p>I was walking with the groom&#039;s eldest brother (I am the eldest sister.)&nbsp; I was soooo excited- until we had a pre-wedding barbecue with the groom&#039;s family.&nbsp; I am&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 5&#039; 6 1/2&quot;, the shortest sister.&nbsp; My husband is 6 feet tall, and I always dated taller men.&nbsp; The groom&#039;s brother was about my height (perhaps a bit shorter.)&nbsp; Well, we were staying over in Pittsburgh and I had to dash out to Walmart and grab a pair of silver flats.&nbsp; I never had another occasion to wear the Cinderella shoes.... after that, I had my series of ankle surgeries and never wore high heels again.&nbsp; My niece got the high heels...so I love yours!!!</p><p><br /></p><p>Bear, I have a thing for vintage purses, too.&nbsp; I love the style of yours.&nbsp; I picked up a couple over the weekend, some old, some new, but I can&#039;t resist.&nbsp; I do this with vintage coats, too.&nbsp; Picked one up over the weekend, need to photograph. </p><p><br /></p><p>The coat I LEFT at the thrift shop would never have fit me.&nbsp; I was a full length gray wool fitted coat, cinched at the waist, flared out like a dress at the bottom.&nbsp; But the real stunning thing was the collar and cuffs were chinchilla.&nbsp; I don&#039;t do much with furs anymore, but I could have resold this.&nbsp; It was marked down to $37.50, vintage size 12 (so like today&#039;s size 8).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
