Oh, and Vogue says the shoe fall is the loafer - I haven't had any in years, though in the early to mid-90s, I wore OUT my black patent loafers. My mom said I'd never wear them - I wore them EVERYWHERE. Ah well. Haven't tried many on recently so not sure my feet will like the style, but there are so many cute options now! (question is - can I find cute AND comfortable??)
