Fall 2009 Shopping | Part Two: Tweed

I've been wistfully daydreaming about my college days - or at least the romanticized version of college with musty libraries, afternoons spent reading British literature, and professors lecturing in tweed sport coats.

Instead of splurging on a semester's tuition, I'll get my collegiate fix with one of these tweed pieces.

    Crystal: I do have to be honest, however, I don't miss the creaky auditorium hall desks and poor heating and cooling systems in any of the humanities-related buildings. I always wished the English and Journalism classes could be taught in the lush bioscience halls.

    Abigail: I especially adore how versatile tweed pumps are. Maybe we can both justify a pair?

    I love, love, love tweed!

    I'm glad you like the shoes I chose for my post. If only they weren't $1,000, I'd have to buy a pair!!!

    Candi: I'll have to search for an appropriate substitute for those shoes. If I find a pair, I'll definitely let you know.

    The Charles David pumps remind me of these Kate Spade ones: http://glammed.blogspot.com/2009/10/nudes-for-autumn.html
