Some pretty cool women in the 1920’s

Dearest Subscribers,

Happy Sunday. May the style Gods of fashion be with you. In today’s weekend post I touch on how I rather run into fire before wearing crocs, some thoughts on mom fashion, and a fire emergency on the runway.

New Trend To Avoid

The death of fashion really is here.

I’d rather be barefoot, bleeding and run into fire than wear this atrocity of a boot. The plague of croc fashion has extended its tentacles once again. We now have croc cowboy boots. This unholy fusion was by created after years of customer demands. Incredible. Style reporter, Janay Kingsberry writes :

As part of its annual “Croctober” celebration, the foam footwear company on Thursday unveiled the Crocs Classic Cowboy Boot. It features traditional western-inspired embroidery, shiny spurs, a “crocskin” texture and, naturally, the signature ventilation holes that have helped polarize the fashion world around the clogs. -Crocs unveils cowboy boots, spurs and all, 2023, October 6, Washington Post

I never really paid much attention to the croc debate. I’ve cautiously allowed my boys to wear croc imitations in the past. I didn’t mind seeing them on healthcare professionals and kids but now, this has got to stop.
