L: But then I saw THESE.

L: Do Parisians wear faux snakeskin?
A: Dude, I linked those last weekend! I APPROVE.
L: Ohhh!! See? Great minds. I bought these when my shoes broke on the way to work the other day and I love them, but they're not comfy weekend kick-around shoes.

L: So am debating between Parisian sneakers (I am making this up as a thing) and slouchy slip on booties:
 |
| Frye Phillip Military Back Zip |
L: Though I would prefer not to spend a million dollars.
A: Oh! Ooh! Get these:
 |
| Splendid Seaside Slip On Sneakers |
L: Those are good. But look, I could spend almost as much as for boots and get these and channel 1990s me!

A: Zig-a-zig-ah. But truly, I am looking through the fancy sneaker section of Shopbop and my mouth is hanging open:
 |
| Toga Pulla Shearling Lined Sneakers |
L: Why? Why does that exist? And why does it cost $700!
A: Right? Crazy. Maybe you need some nice Bensimon sneakers? They're very Frenchy:

| Bensimon Lace Up Tennis Sneakers |
L: Very! One of the chicest French ladies I know just wore these Converse and made them look so, so cool. I do not think I have what it takes:
 |
| Converse All Star |
A: Girl, ANYONE can wear Chucks.
L: Maybe I just need better socks. I just can't make them look....natural.
A: You need very minimal socks or no socks if you can handle it.
L: And surely socks + Chucks does not = $200. I feel like this has become a therapy session, Adrien. Send me an invoice for your services?
A: Of course. I feel like we've made good progress this session.
I can't seem to wear slip ons or Chucks (so sad) .. they are the type of shoe where an 8.5 is too small and a 9 is too large :-(

ReplyDeleteI have yet to find flats or Chucks that I can wear. Flats because I have a wide-ish toe box but a super narrow heel so if they fit my toes they slide off my feet. It sucks.
ReplyDeleteChucks are cute but not my thing. I look silly in them.
So glad to have company in what I just thought was a personal flaw!
ReplyDeleteI have a pair of Chucks and every now and then I pull them out and consider wearing them. I'm just so short and I feel like they make me look even shorter and dumpy.
ReplyDeleteHow about Keds? Good for the slim-ankled/footed & lots of cute prints (I have zebra ones.)
ReplyDeleteI have two pair of chucks: traditional low black ones and slip on navy ones! LOVE THEM!
ReplyDeleteI JUST bought the perforated leather Vans yesterday. Woe them today and I'm very pleased with my purchase and I feel like this is the perfect time of year for them. Plus...they're trendy AND comfortable which is the best combo ever.
ReplyDeleteOh that is so good to know!
