Easter Menu
If I had to reduce Easter to only one image, it would be a tiny pair of mary janes, as white as milk and made of patent leather. More than the colored eggs and baskets brimming with candy, I looked forward every year to being able to wear those pristinely white shoes. They squeaked a bit with each step and they scuffed at the slightest sneeze, but I loved them. They were usually worn over a pair of opaque white tights and they were the perfect complement to a pastel-colored, full-skirted dress. Some years, I would round out the ensemble with a bonnet (oh, yes I did) or a pocket book, but really, it was all about the shoes.
