Fashion Trend : BROGUES
Brogues - Definition :
a durable, comfortable, low-heeled shoe, often having decorative perforations and a wing tip often with ornamental perforations
a coarse, usually untanned shoe once worn in Ireland and Scotland
I especially like the etymology of the word :
type of Celtic accent, 1705, perhaps from the meaning "rough,stout shoe" worn by rural Irish and Scottish highlanders (1580s),via Gaelic or Irish, from O.Ir. broce "shoe," thus originally meaningsomething like "speech of those who call a shoe a brogue." Orperhaps it is from O.Ir. barrog "a hold"

| okay, no brogues, but luverly Balenciage bag :) * |
been obsessed about brogues of late.... but then i havent made up my mind on which brogues to get.
i like mine with a bit of lift or height. i dont know why... the older i get, the safer i feel with heels.
the heels are like my personal back straightener. (granted, they also hurt my back, but not when i'm using them).
so these are my current faves. i haven't seen them in the local high street shops yet. but then again, i haven't been actively looking.
 |
| (Amazon.com), heels are just right to NOT be called a witch's pairs. |
mind you, the trend has also gone to the kids' fashion segment.
because last week, i found these at Ginger Snaps.
