#ThrowbackThursday: Blue Suede Shoes

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.

Well, you can knock me down,
Step in my face,
Slander my name
All over the place.
Do anything that you want to do, but uh-uh,
Honey, lay off of my shoes
Don't you step on my blue suede shoes.
You can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes.

You can burn my house,
Steal my car,
Drink my liquor
From an old fruit jar.

Do anything that you want to do, but uh-uh,
Honey, lay off of my shoes
Don't you step on my blue suede shoes.
You can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes.

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.



If you haven't gotten it by now, these set of lyrics come from Elvis' famous hit....BLUE SUEDE SHOES! As you can see Elvis went through some DRASTIC measures to keep his fresh blue suede kicks clean. I totally can understand....it's nothing worse than you pulling out your crispy, new shoes from the box for the first time and somebody steps on them.

It's always fun to add a little texture to your clothes and/or shoes to give them that extra layer of dimension. Suede is timeless, and is plastered throughout the Fall fashions this season. I checked an array of websites today and there was NO shortage of suede. They come in all different colors, styles, and price points :)




















As you can see there is something for everyone. Sneakers, Wedges, Platforms, Boots, Pumps etc. So there is no reason why you shouldn't have suede in your lineup this Fall! I know I sure will. WARNING: Suede can be easily ruined if not properly taken care of, so be sure to invest in some type of protecting spray to keep the integrity of the suede at it's best. And don't forget to check the weather forecast before you decide to whip out your suede beauties for an extra precautionary measure.
