History of Fashion : Mary Janes

Smart Set pants

Smart Set shirt

Boyfriend's belt

Aldo shoes

I love those shoes.

I think of them as Mary Janes with a twist.

For those - like myself - who don't know why they are called Mary Janes, read this :

Mary Jane was a character in the comic strip, Buster Brown, which was first published in 1902. She was the sister of the title character, Buster Brown. In 1904, th comic strip licenses were sold to companies to use the Buster Brown characters to advertise their products, among them was the Brown Shoe Company. The style of shoe both Buster Brown and Mary Jane wore came to be known by her name, Mary Jane.
