You always hear the myth not to wear white shoes (or pants) after Labor Day. But my theory is as long it’s hot outside, white is okay! In fact, my cousin is getting married in the park this coming Saturday, and I think these Vintage Laundry Twins Sandals (available from ChineseLaundry.com, $69) would look perfect with the pink and white taffeta dress that I plan to wear. (The last time I wore that dress with my Skechers Sandals.)
Vintage 40s and 50s. Fun and flirty sandals with a retro look and feel. Oversized button adds extra class to the broad ankle strap and chunky heel. Fun polka dot insole lining. Leather upper. Balance manmade. NOTE: RUNS HALF SIZE SMALL. Approx. 4 inch” heel.
Why they named these sandals “TWINS” is beyond me? But since I am a mother of twins, it makes them even more perfect!
I hope you all had a relaxing, but fun Labor Day Weekend – it’s back to the grindstone now! But first, what are your thoughts on “White after Labor Day”? Yay or nay?

Happy Labor Day! Even though I’m still sitting at my computer today and working per se, I love writing blogs and sharing my shopping finds that I can’t really consider this a “job“.
The above pic is of me was taken on Saturday wearing my new Wedge Gladiator Sandals from Wet Seal. I like them as they are both fashionable and comfortable. I got quite a few compliments and a few “those look like Jesus sandals” comments from obviously non-fashion friends. And I had to wear red, as it was the Huskers first football game of the season!
I won $25 in a football pool on the game, and now I’m asking you to help me win a Zappos gift certificate to help fund my shoe addiction, although if I win I’ll probably re-gift and give it away to one of you on this site! All you have to do is visit Jim Kukral’s Zappos Mandal page and vote for #5 (that’s my feet in the Nike slides).
I’m also looking into redesign this site, and would like to include a Flickr feed of everyone’s shoes! So upload your shoe pics to Flickr.com and tag them shoeaholics for them to be featured! And I’m having some new tshirts made up, so stay tuned on how to score one soon!
