I really owe you a meaty, substantial post, o interwebs, but it’s been a loooooooong week, culminating in the Harvest Festival at Gus’s school today. I helped staff the apple booth and schlepped heavy boxes of apples around and I am tired.<\/p>\n
So here’s something light, frivolous, and weekendy!<\/p>\n
Footwear trends I hate:<\/b><\/p>\n
CROCS: Aiiieee, it’s not possible to fully explain the depth of my hatred. Alice<\/a> comes close, but I must add that a tidbit I picked up at my old job about a certain celebrity chef who has 30 pairs that he washes in the dishwasher also feeds my ire.<\/p>\n BALLET FLATS: Look, I’ve still got all my Duran Duran records, too, but some things that happened in the 80s should stay in the 80s.<\/p>\n Footwear trends I love:<\/b><\/p>\n CHUCKS: Everyone loves Converse Chuck Taylors. Low top, hi top, all manner of colors + prints + even those stealthy black w\/black soles ones. I had some orange ones once and then some dinosaur ones in college but ultimately I had to accept that Chucks are not for the slightly wide of foot. I’ve made my peace + moved on, and instead I got some for Gus on eBay<\/a>.<\/p>\n FUN RAIN BOOTS: Yay for colorful and whimsically-patterned rain boots for kids AND grownups. I have some plain all black ones, but am keeping my eyes peeled for a more fun pair. Bring on the puddles! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I really owe you a meaty, substantial post, o interwebs, but it’s been a loooooooong week, culminating in the Harvest Festival at Gus’s school today.
