Do you remember back in the late 80’s/early 90’s when those Sam & Libby ballet flats were so popular? I surely do. I’ll never forget how thrilled I was to wear my pair to school after having waited ages for my mother to buy them for me, and one of the most popular girls in school spoke to me that day. She said, “oh, how many pairs of Libbys do you have?” When I answered, “one,” the conversation was over. Oh, kids can be so cruel.
So it cracks me up that now I see this shoe absolutely everywhere I look. These little ballet flats come in many different shades and the same generation of girls have all bought essentially the same shoes they had in grade school all over again now that they’re working girls - just trading a gold medallion for the bow. Needless to say, I will not be joining in on the craze – not because I’m older and wiser, but because I don’t like gold. Now if I could get my hands on some old school Sam & Libbys, that’d be a different story.
Nice blog!
Yes…I love the old school Sam and Libby’s. I have been on a tiresome search. Ebay is my only hold. As for the Tory Burch they come with a silver medallion option as well…:o)
