I Caved...
On Friday, I did something I swore I would never do. I was really determined not to do it. I have been known to expound upon the abomination that is this act.
I bought Crocs.
I actually spent my dad's own good money on Crocs. Crocs: the reason Mario Batali's appearance so disturbs me (that and the fact that the hem of his apron goes past the hem of his shorts). And I now own a pair (of Crocs, not Mario Batali's shorts). Well, kind of...
So you see, I didn't buy clog Crocs. And is it just me, or are these
actually kind of cute? And they were only $10 (at Big Lots...you never know what you'll find at that place). I almost put them back after the nice lady at the checkout asked, "Now, honey, do you have a place to wear these?" as if there is no appropriate place to wear Crocs flats.
But I sucked up the embarrassment, ignored the flush I could feel coming to my cheeks, and paid for my new footwear. Because there is a perfect place to wear the Malindi Flat Slingback. And I will be lucky enough to work there this summer. And get college credit for it (seriously, has there ever been a class as cool as "Fieldwork in Ethnobotany?").
Whew. I feel like I've just been to confession. I have to say, this was eating me up inside. But man, do I feel better.
I have a pair of black Mary Jane style Airwalk brand "Crocs", which are very similar to the ones you have posted a picture of, except it has a little strap across the front and is not a sling back. They are my favorite shoes to wear most places, as long as I don't have to walk in gravel, or it is not to hot (they get a little sweaty, then it is hard to walk in them) :)
ReplyDeleteThose malindis are cute and comfie. They are great for walking on the beach, or going out for dinner!
