I used to never buy second hand shoes but I even do that now given the trials of shoe shops, though I prefer to reheel and repair to be honest.Crafty Green Poethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02486633917197181851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28288094.post-59343208781300908602007-07-15T16:14:00.000-07:002007-07-15T16:14:00.000-07:00Although my daughter (also newly turned twelve) do...Although my daughter (also newly turned twelve) doesn't seem to care about name-brands or magazine/web fashions yet, we entered a new phase this weekend when I tried on the dress and shoes I was planning to wear to a friend's wedding, and my daughter stated with a scornful laugh, "Those are really old-fashioned.
