How did I not know that TOMS had a cutie pie burlap pair?? I'm thinking I might return the red canvas I just bought and get these instead! Love TOMS but love anything burlap, rustic, and linen-y even more. You all know about how awesome this brand is, right? Old news, I'm sure. Yeah, I tear up every time I see this.
By the way. That old wives' tale about feet getting bigger after a pregnancy? Happened to this girl. Upsetting. Off I go to squeeze these old dogs into my formerly size 7 shoes.

julie, you are probably going to laugh at me but just yesterday i learned of toms shoes. i was having coffee with a friend and she told me all about them. at first i thought she was talking about tods but then i had to clarify. i went to their website and fell in love with the espardrilles. have you tried them on? i gained 1/2 a size during preggo stages so yeah, they are right. dammit.
ReplyDeleteThanks Julie, now I am going to order some Toms! Just another package for the UPS man to bring:)

Love these. I want some now! Thanks a lot, Julie! ;)
ReplyDeleteI think I might have to get these too. Love anything burlap!
ReplyDeleteHave a great Easter!

Yes, pre-pregancy I wore a 6.5 and now 7...7.5 if they are pointy shoes. so worth it though! :)
ReplyDeletegosh, sometimes I feel like crying when I find a cute pair of perfect shoes, but this is the first time I've actually cried over a pair! Thanks for sharing, I'm new to your blog, but will be back for sure.
ReplyDeletePS - going to Uganda next week and think I just might buy a pair of Toms for the trip. Thnx for the inspiration!
Oh my. I feel like a total a-hole now. JUST yesterday I was on campus at U of MD and saw all these young college girls with Toms on and was laughing at this new 'fad' and how out of the loop I was...little did I know, I really was out of the loop and that this isn't just a trendy over-priced version of keds, but actually has real value. WOW. What a great model this business is (or should be) for others. Thanks so much for posting this. I think I'll have to get a pair now! I love the one-to-one correspondence...not just 'proceeds go to getting shoes for kids in need'...but if you buy one, they get one. GREAT!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, I do realize how ridiculous I sound saying, 'young college girls' now :) I'm old!
ReplyDeleteThese are so cute...Love the burlap and the preppy plaid lining too. And surely you've seen the baby Toms?
