Mary, Mary

A little while I told you the sad tale of my worn out ballet flats. They had served me well for a year or two but the time eventually came when they had to be put out to pasture. In the bin they went.

These are my replacements: two pair of suede Mary-Janes, one black, one red. I purchased them both on the sale website, Ozsale, for around $40 each. Considering they are both leather upper and insole, I call that brilliant bargain-hunting. The black are by Comfort Me, and the red are Cloud Comfort Resort. They are indeed cloud comforty – I sighed with immediate pleasure the first time I put them on. They even put a spring in my step! 

They are also much more attractive to walk to work in instead of trainers. Trainers are for training, and runners are for running, I say. Hence the name. Mary-Janes are for looking cute in.
