Dear readers I have not forgotten you. It’s just that blogging from the beach isn’t as fun as I thought it would be. I’ll be back next week offering style suggestions for the new year. Until then, my friends, here’s a reminder to accessorize your beachware (thanks for the earrings, mom) and rock that crisp white shirt.
Also I wanted to show off my tan.
tankini - A two-piece bathing suit with the upper portion resembling a tank top.
Apparently a writer at the Boston Globe has a problem with clown shoes. I’m partial to flashy, outsized footwear and clowns. I may be doubly offended.
I have no issue with Crocs. I’d rather see cheapish foam shoes covering American feet than cheap plastic flip-flops that bare all. Crocs are a bit weird, to be sure, and they should be worn with extremely casual clothes to places that are extremely casual (the beach, the grocery store, the dog park). I bought a pair of Crocs two years ago with the intention of attaching them to my pack with a carabiner for ready use as slip-on shoes at the end of a long hike. It was on such a journey when I learned Crocs float. Crocs are anti-microbial, which means they won’t stink (unlike other sockless footwear). I am in favor of shoes that can not, will not and do not get stinky.
That said, I saw Crocs Charms for sale and declared them one toke over the line. Too messy.
And I’m totally digging the Crocs ballerina flat-inspired shoe called Prima’s.
