My Sexy Cork Shoes From the 70s

It is 1970, spring, and I am dazzling. Wearing my favorite white and red zigzag dress. I know I look amazing. My shoes are to die for; large heels made of cork. Sculpted with a pretty design that shows clear through My hair is flippish today, shoulder length. I feel sexy, pretty, cute. Sixteen concrete steps are taking me up into my workplace. I wonder who is noticing how adorable I am. I take a step and ouch! Fall off both heels at the same time My favorite shoes just went from best to most hated. In one swoop.

Caren, Good memories in cork. Who knew the 70's could be both fashionable and environmentally sustainable. Cork trees can live up to 300 years and their products are 100% natural and biodegradable. You can be adorable and responsible with a new pair. -Richard

I do not wear anything with a cork heel ever now.
