Blue Suede Shoes
I thank my father for teaching me the wonder of Aerosoles shoes. I wandered into the store at the St. John’s Town Center and found these little babies for $19.99—originally $79.99! Hannie wanted a photo so here it is. Gray? Blue-gray? All I know is the low heel is very walkable and I love the…
