After getting back from Ecuador, where I was for a month this summer, I decided to head to Chicago for the weekend. The
perfect weather made it perfect for hitting up State and Michigan Ave to go shopping! Among both the fashionable designer stores and bargain-basements, I saw far too many of one particular style, seen here is the Kelly and Katie "Olympia" version. This cute sandal with great lines makes everyone's feet look good, it comes in several colors and from what I hear (my sister has a pair) they are very comfortable. My only real issue with them is that everyone had them.
And cue hipster music.
I usually don't fall into the category of people who liked it until everyone else did, but here I do. If someone shows up at a party wearing the same outfit as me, then okay, she's got good taste. But when half the city is wearing my outfit, I'm going home to change.
This design can be found at Old Navy, as seen here in silver, at Target, or as seen above under the name of Kelly and Katie, which is a brand owned by DSW, but supposedly designed and made by Liz
Claiborne. At a minimum of 5 major brands, there are far too many people working with this design. Now I am all about taking designs and creating versions that are cheaper for the general public. Fashion for every women! Or something like that. But please don't waste your money! They are YOUR shoes, they should say something about YOU and represent YOU personal style. So Chicago women every where, please think before you buy! The only people who can legitimately be buying these sandals are the ones who wear Uggs all winter. In that case, you deserve each other.
