Got a question about the shoes I’m wearing in my previous post. The shoes were a hand-me-down from my mom, who says she can no longer wear heels, which is a pity, because she has great legs. They’re Donald J. Pliney (the shoes, not my mom’s legs), a brand I must admit that I have never heard of, but the shoes are great: super comfortable and you can dress them down or up.

Don’t know when she got them, but she off-loaded them to me last summer. I couldn’t find an identical pair on the Donald J. Pliney website, but here’s a link to a similar pair. The coloring is obviously different, and the materials, but the shape is pretty much the same. $248 — yikes! Thanks, Mom!

Love those kids…
