it's great to stay up late

I need these.



They remind me of Kathy's shoes from the Good Morning number in Singin' in the Rain, though the colour and style are not exact (I suppose one could tie a ribbon around the T-bar...). (lexandros already has the skirt. anglepoiselamp could knit the top and then between us we'd have the whole costume in town!)

Hee. I have actually sang that song more than once while wearing that skirt. It's a good skirt for singing and twirling!

I wish there were more vintage shoes in the local second-hand shops. There's that one tiny shop in Yliopistonkatu that every now and then has some pretty shoes but still it's mostly just old winter boots. *sigh*

I've always been too afraid to go into those shops, except once I went in a couple with Chi. They're so small and crowded and... Finnish. In my experience of the US, I've never had any luck with shoes in second-hand stores. That would take some serious vintage karma, I think. Most of the used shoes in the world are more recent and usually kind of ugly. And the wrong size.
