Affordable Driving Loafers
It’s no secret I have a thing for Tod’s driving loafers. I imagine myself wearing a pair, downshifting in my [fantasy] copper-brown 1974 Mercedes coupe as I take a tight turn along a coastal highway. That, my friends, is the life.
But I own neither the luxury loafers nor the vintage glove box to keep them in. For now I’ll make due with Maisie Driving Mocs from JCrew. I wouldn’t walk across town in them but they are adorable and lightweight, perfect for air travel or fancy house shoes.
I bought the loafers in orange to go with the brown car, natch.
UPDATE: The mocs are going back. After walking around my house a bit I have determined that they are uncomfortable. There is a lump of leather in a seam that leaves an indention through my sock and into the top of my foot after less than five minutes. Dang.

Has J. Crew always been as awesome as it’s become lately? Because every time the catalog arrives, I want almost everything. Adorable shoes!
When I saw your headline, I thought JCrew because I just saw these in their catalog! Adorable! I love the yellow, but orange…oooh.
JCrew is a very stylish girl’s secret weapon. The basics are fine but I like their more unexpected items… Their dresses actually fit a curvy girl.
dang, my secret shopping spot no longer so secret. been hitting the j.c. for a good 15yrs now. swim wear and dresses that actually fit these curves, whoa!
