I bought these shoes at a sportswear shop in Glasgow with the idea that I would take up jogging. I would have to estimate that since 2001 (when I bought them) I have been jogging, perhaps 7 times. The dress is from American Apparel. A friend of mine (I believe it was Mrs. N.) once commented on the Margot Tenenbaum look of this particular style. At any rate, it is the perfect thing for these ridiculously hot Southern California Summers.
