Yes, this handsome couple make us proud on a daily basis!
I'm sorry Queen Mother...I still have a personal issue with white shoes and handbag...especially white shoes of the Naturalizer variety ;-) I like the way Laura wears tan shoes that go with everything, go unnoticed, and appear to just be an extension of her leg (color wise). It probably helps when you're packing for a long trip, too.
I’m wondering if the white shoes are a generational thing. The Queen is, after all, of the same generation as our parents. My Mama, and SirKit’s Mama wore white dress shoes a lot in the summertime. Maybe it’s because they didn’t have the sheer numbers of shoes that we tend to have today, I don’t know. I’m not a big fan of white shoes; even sandals. The sandals I wear most in the summer are my Beige nubuck Birkenstock Zurichs. They have two wide straps that go over each other on my instep. I’ve found that little strappy sandals mean my feet get COLD in spaces with A/C, so I like having more material over the top of my feet. ;o) With dress shoes , the lightest color I go is champagne.
