That new saddle shoes and new lunch box feeling.
Didn’t think I’d ever have that again.
I’m pretty sure there are a few who can relate.
To the saddle shoes anyway.
New saddle shoes for a new day and a new adventure.

I remember that feeling! I just read that you have a new job? Congratulations! I didn’t realize you had a new job. I knew you were leaving your old job.

Best wishes for your new venture. And yes, new Buster Browns, every year, and praying we didn’t outgrow them too soon. How I loved the start of the school year…it was home. ☺ I still can’t pass by those marble notebooks without a huge smile.

Oh yeah, the came back into fashion for a while in the early 80’s and I had a pair. One of the saving graces of going back to school was wearing all the new clothes I got. Yep, that was about it!

Oh I remember the new saddle shoes well. With two older sisters it was almost the only new thing I got. Memories are great.
Good Luck, starting with a smile in your heart is great. :o)

I was the oldest girl so any hand me downs were from the boys. But we all got new shoes and new school clothes. 🙂 But this could also be why I love men’s clothing more than womens!!!!

Oh, not sure if anyone else said this and nearly out of time so I will say, what about penny loafers? Anyone love the new feel of the tan or brown shoes where the penny can be inserted in that little creases?
I had only one pair of saddle shoes, they were cool, Colleen! I wore them to a “Sock Hop!” 🙂
