The Worst Pair of Shoes In The World

The Worst Pair of Shoes In The World

I remember the day I bought them. The Worst Pair of Shoes in The World. For reals. They’re super cute, don’t get me wrong. I even tried them on in the store and they were fine to walk in.

Someone feel free to correct me. And we also had Trio where The Hummingbird now stands. That particular summer, I also worked in my first fine dining...Read More
