Look at them. Imagine their 70' leather strapping around my skinny little feet. The thought sends shivers down my spine. They are so old that my mum never wore anything like them (*gasp*). What I love about these is their 'schoolgirliness' factor. They seem broad and delicate - if that can be possible. I can imagine cool, vintagey 20-year-olds walking these down complex spiderwebs of lanes. Wearing nothing but them and a floral dress. Then, I can imagine them on me, geekily clad with nerdy glasses, short shorts and a button up shirt (+ tie) wearing the shoes tightly buckled around faun or grey ankle socks. Taking 70's schoolgirl to the extreme. In 25 years or so, can you imagine young girls like me, wanting to wear our generation's school shoe of choice? Wearing t-bars out of school, would be cool? Maybe they'll wear our emblemed blazers with cut off shorts? How about our school dresses? This could be the future of vintage, however way it takes us. I'm sure one girl will be wearing these type of things day in day out, but not as uniform. The future of dressing is untold, but I am attempting to uncover it by using evidence from the past.
