Annnndddd I’m over Winter. Are y’all? The “Arctic Blast” was a little much for this hairless kitty. Even though I am berry warm in my new Burberry wardrobe I so graciously received for Christmas, I’m a tad done with putting eight layers before I leave my toasty cottage. Okay fine, Winter makes me appreciate Spring. Whatever. Spring needs to stinkin’ SPRING already! Ya know why? I’m cold. Know why else? ‘Cause I get to sport these puppies….
Remember when I wanted TOMS? Since then, I did a little soul searching and I asked myself, “Self, are you really granola enough to pull off the ever-so-trendy-hippie-TOMS that your bestie, Becca, sports like it’s her job?” I came to the conclusion that I COULD if I must.
But I would have to sparkle. So I went to try them on with boyfriend.
BAD MOVE. Here’s how that whole experience went:
Me: Hey Chachie, what do you think of me getting some TOMS?
Hunter: *Frown* Let me see them on….
Me: OKAY!!!! I popped those bad-boy’s out of the box and stuck ’em on my putties.
Hunter: *Snicker* You’re joking, right?
Me: No! Aren’t they great!
Hunter: Sure. You can wear those when we AREN’T together.
Crap. Discouraged, I put my golden-ticket shoes back and left empty-handed.
Maybe I am a little too much of a label wh*re for TOMS, but Tory on the other hand. Right up my alley! So I went with the espadrilles. My version of being an Austin hippie. Do y’all think I can still pull off the sparkle? Could he seriously be right? Are they a joke? Would I actually admit it if he was? Share your thoughts with the class.
PS Will you be partaking in the espadrille trend this Spring?
Your old fans wore espadrilles in the late 70's,early 80's!Ours were Pappagallos and we had the button bags too.Espadrilles, Mexican dresses,and our add a bead necklaces were all the rage!Happy to sport those cute drilles' again.Also,very acceptable with a denim skirt and a Ralph polo,sport or button down.Check your Preppy Handbook please!
I was with you when you got those 🙂
shut up hunter….sparkly TOMS are the bomb. you should totally rock them.
