Choco Chucks

I think I'm probably the last one to join the fashion trend. Or did I actually miss the trend? No, not the skinny jeans or leggings trend (soooo not going back to that one!!!). Nor the dress over the jeans thing. I'm talking about BROWN. I recently bought a brown beaded cami. Very unusual, as I'd normally buy black or white in keeping with color basics. Then I bought a brown frilly cardigan -- on the clearance rack at L&T. It was $15! What's not to like?

I had been looking for a particular pair of sneakers but couldn't find them in the style or color I wanted. Then I spotted these:



Aren't they cute??? Chocolate slip-on Chucks!!! I was looking for black ones, but they only had them in ginormous men's sizes at DSW. Ever since I was in high school, I've wanted some Chucks. I tried them on. Often. But you know... the Fred Flintstone feet thing. Not so flattering to have skinny shoes on fat feet.

I actually tried these on a few weeks ago but decided to keep looking for the black ones. But I kept thinking about them. These are just "different" enough without being outrageous, no? I figured if I only wore them every so often, at least I wouldn't keep thinking about how I should have purchased them when I had the chance.
