Creatures of the Wind x J.Crew Psychedelic Oxfords

June 22, 2012

After six weeks of waiting, my marvelous psychedelic oxfords from the Creatures of the Wind x J.Crew collaboration finally arrived on Tuesday! I’ve been wearing them non-stop, including to the event I hosted with StyleCaster at Teddie Kossof Salon. Heels are overrated, especially in 2012, and every cool girl needs a wild pair of flats. Willie Wonka & the Chocolate Factory from 1971 meets Kramer’s pimp coat inside one outrageous pair of brogues. I get so many compliments on them from strangers – everyone from businessmen in suits to construction workers and baristas are entranced by these sweet kicks. Literally, how could you not comment on them? Chicagoans are so friendly and optimistic, and as a city we love great design, so it makes sense that the everyday people (who typically don’t care about fashion per se) are amused by my footwear. You know why? Because they’re happy shoes.

Few things make me happier than randomly spotting a reader or another blogger. I didn’t immediately recognize Meredith, of the blog His & Hers, when I approached on Rush Street. When I first started my blog, His & Hers was frequently recommended by people in Chicago and New York as one of the city’s best blogs. I was happy to finally snap her pic for my blog, especially in such a serendipitous way.
