Blue Suede Shoes

Blue suede shoes. One of the latest trends. Not to mention a title of a well-known tune sung by Elvis Presley:

"Well, it's one for the money,
Two for the show,
Three to get ready,
Now go, cat, go.

But don't you step on my blue suede shoes.
You can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes."

The songwriter, Carl Perkins, scripted an important message about preserving this fashionable footwear in 1955. Fast forward to 2012 and the song lyrics still apply. Blue suede shoes come in different styles today - flats, heels, wedges. One example is pictured above - Madewell's "Suede Sidewalk Skimmer." A bold pop of color that can uplift a neutral wardrobe... score!

Festive shoes only deserve to be broken in with an appropriate dance party. Perhaps to this song. Just make sure you protect your tootsies.
