The local pharmacies celebrated wildly when Dad married Mum, because they would always have a locum on call as a result!<BR/><BR/>Jayne - I am a boots or thongs girl if needed to shoe these days too!<BR/><BR/>hilary - Loralee's Frock Salon actually had some pretty stylish stuff - our Auntie Bonbon was a regular and a regular walking advertisement for them, too!<BR/><BR/>the palms - I think it is one of those "there are two types of people" divides.

I was watching my boss walk by in her heels and noticed that they were ones I hadnt seen before. Hmmm, I wear the same tired pair and always the same colors (black or brown). I have never really had a show affliction. I do own several pairs that maybe get pulled out for a yearly special occassion or when I want to play dress up. Alas, I am not a shoe girl.Life. Complicated.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04829054559676022164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37871177.post-35381696944867976262008-05-13T12:50:00.000+10:002008-05-13T12:50:00.000+10:00Those frock shops!

Your country town must have been a step up, fashion-wise, from the ones we frequented.<BR/><BR/>I used to have to retoughen my soles every summer. It was tough (!) but I was prepared to put in the hard yards. It was the sixties, after all.Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10553565656118570866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37871177.post-45985004101886989922008-05-13T12:35:00.000+10:002008-05-13T12:35:00.000+10:00I love going barefoot and us kids in the street wo...I love going barefoot and us kids in the street would prove how tough the soles of our feet became over every Summer!<BR/>I have 2 shoe loves - thongs (flip flops) and my Blunnies.
