Fashion?

What pop star has made these all the rage?

At least my girls aren't wearing them with the Playboy Logo.

As long as their undies and body parts aren't on display, I have no problems with those.

I remember them from about 5 years ago.
They're kinda silly, but not offensive.

Looks like something I would have worn in Jr High & High School.

I haven't seen those here - the high school crowd's a little different, though. They're huge on the regular and regular high top Converse.

Speaking of fashion, Em informed me that her former third grade teacher is one of the few remaining on some show "Fashion Star" - basically a reality TV for budding fashion designers. Very cool. She's sold a lot of stuff to Saks, etc., through this show.

I don't have a problem with them - just wondering why suddenly 4 of my girls are sporting them.

Makes me think of the Doc Martins the punks and goths wear.

My almost-14-yr-old daughter's been wearing a pair exactly like that for about the last year. She's grown out of them now and wants new ones. Will someone tell these kids to please stop growing?

My 16 year old has finally been in the same size shoes for almost 2 years. It stops soon.

Then it starts again when you turn 40...

Then it starts again when you turn 40...

Or if you have a kid.

I heard Converse was back 'in'. I think I still have my pair from when I was in high school.

Chuck Taylors are very popular here at the U, but I've never seen boot height Converse before. They look very hot.

Supposedly, I live in the hippest hipster community in the country (Twin Cities), and chucks are definitely the way to go. I picked up an awesome bright purple pair of high tops at a thrift store for $6 (in Las Vegas... around here, no one would give them to a thrift store...).

When I wear them, I sometimes feel like a dorky mom trying to look like a college kid again. But I still love 'em, especially the color!

Last time I was ever carded to buy alcohol (I was 44 at the time) was when I was wearing fuchsia chucks... the clerk leaned over the counter, looked at my feet, looked at me, and said "I'm really going to need to see some ID".
