"Retro Blues" label, striped LS knit shirt

This is one of those labels about which it is next to impossible to find anything out about online, except for an occasional random website posting.  I forget what I got this for @ VV -- I think it was under $5 US.

Your daily shoe porn

UPDATE:  Now proud owner of a pair in black as pictured!!

Giving my foot-torturing dress oxfords with chisel toes a bit of a rest -- behold, The Clark's of England Touareg -

Get from point A to point B with durability and sporty good looks in the Touareg shoe from Clarks. Dual curved stitch lines add interest, while boosting the tenacious build of the shoe. Burnished leather upper is crafted in a bicycle toe design that is both modern and unique. Lookout casual wardrobe - there’s a new player, with the Touareg.

 Mine are in a lovely honey-toned brown with the top racing stripe a little darker.  A comfortable walking shoe that actually looks cool is a rare find, and this one beats out the cheaply made Nordstrom's knockoffs I'd had to settle for previously.

Oh, and the real kicker?  Shoe Station has them for about $80 US; I got mine for $15 at Value Village.  PSYCH!!!
