Modern shoes with a touch of that vintage feel [UPDATED for 2022!]

Why Certainly TStrap Heel Red edited 1 alternative wedding ideas from Offbeat Wed (formerly Offbeat Bride)

This is a week to deviate from my usual taste in rainbows and ridiculousness! I'm going to spend a morning trying my hand at vintage-inspired shoes on the more classy end of the spectrum… let's see some stuff from Bettie Page shoes, Chelsea Crew, and Pinup Couture.

I've got retro shoes in various flavors: t-straps, platforms, and a few flats. We've got gentle rose colors, champagne and ivory, and some lovely yellows… but of course some brighter colors too because I can't help myself! So, yes: let's get classy for a moment. Join me?

Twist my arm! Okay I just ordered the gold shoes! Had seen those before, but I need some dancing shoes and the reviews say they’re comfy! Thanks for the push!
