The Lady of the Storm - 2
“In the village, leather slippers and boots had been more practical, and so she’d always focused on dresses, for she could sew her own. She had not realized shoes could be just as beautiful, or that such a variety existed anywhere in the world.
As she and Giles rode through the cobbled streets of Stafford, her head swiveled from one window display to another. Shoes with feathers, with diamonds, with heels and without. Shoes that buckled or tied. Red shoes, black shoes, lavender, and blue… Ce...cily pulled up on Belle’s reins, transfixed on a window display. In the very center, perched upon a slip of lace, gleamed a lovely pair of gem-studded shoes. Made of pale blue silk damask printed with starfish, they sported a crystal-studded buckle that winked in the sunlight, and on closer inspection, tiny silver stones outlining Scallop seashells.
The clear stones looked to be topaz, and the yellow ones most likely a shiny stone called pyrite. Cecily had learned much while she’d traded, and fortunately the merchants had been eager to teach her, but she couldn’t be sure if it had been because of Giles standing behind her, or Lady La’laylia’s support of women in trade.MoreLess
