I'm lost in loafers and never want to leave
I'm finding it hard to justify why, as another tropical storm threatened Tampa Bay, I entered DSW for wellies and came out with loafers.
Not just any loafers. Suede loafers, with tassels. These grandpa-style shoes have about as much in common with wellies as thong sandals (except those are usually waterproof, so I lose again).
But you know what? I regret it not. Low-cost loafers are all up in the stores again this year, and I think they're perfect for fall in Florida. It's about time I figured out how fun turning a male style on its head can be.
Plus, you know it's right if Suri is wearing it, right?
You know they're at Target ($19.99).
And at DSW.
Nine West, $59:
Rocket Dog, $35:
Qupid, $29:
And, via Payless, we have these moccasin-style loafer cousins for $25.
I can't escape them. I don't want to escape them. I want to wear them to work and to the bar and in all of these variations.
Just like that, I have a new fashion obsession. Sorry, wellies.
