Your memory set off mine. I was one of six children, and Dad was a preacher. Back then, most preachers didn’t fly their private jets or drive Cadillacs. They still shouldn’t but they do.
Fashion was not a thing in my family. Mostly because it was not financially feasible.
Every few months Mom and Dad went out for a date night and came home with a new dress for Mom. Dad bought them because she wouldn’t. Left on her own, she’d buy cheapest. The ones Dad bought weren’t designer labels, but they didn’t scream “scullery maid” either.
I remember how Mom’s posture changed, wearing a new dress. She lit up.
Oooh i love them! I sure would have worn them as a kid and still would now! At 13 i bought myself a pair of banana yellow hi tops with birthday money! They were suede and towelling and i litterally wore them for years until they fell apart. X
Lol cute. I never had fancy shoes growing up except one time when I won my school's spelling bee. I was deathly shy and not very interested and my mom bribed me into participating 🤭. They were about $80 which was crazy expensive in 1999.
I remember PF Flyers. Never owned any, knock offs were all my brother and I got. But we loved them, brand names didn`t mean as much as it does now. Just damn lucky to have shoes.
@Degbeme Looks like ! But they’re not quite as expensive as the PF Flyers. Funny thing is, I never asked for the ones I had. Pop just saw them and thought I’d like them. I’m not sure how much they cost back then.
