I expect I’ll spend the rest of this trip trying to cover all the things I missed writing out while I was here. Women’s shoes - while I saw some Converse, and older women were more prone to sensible footwear, I saw such a prevalence of beautiful and thoroughly impractical footwear. The trend right now seems to be towards very thoroughly decorated/adorned (sequins, ribbons and the like) high heeled mules. It felt rare to see a woman in shoes without a noticeable heel, even if it was only an inch high.
