To date the only pair of vintage saddle shoes that I've had in my Etsy shop were dark blue and white (delightfully, they flew off the shelves - if only I could find many more pairs of vintage saddle shoes to list there; hopefully at least the occasional one will come my way as time goes on). I'd love to add a pair in that classic combo to my closet one day, too.<br /><br />Sending lots of hugs & happy weekend wishes your way,<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-43568574382005691862016-10-06T14:55:27.299-07:002016-10-06T14:55:27.299-07:00I went for a classic white and blue for my first p...I went for a classic white and blue for my first pair which I love.
