Blast from the past

Unbeknownst to me....jelly shoes are making a come back. Being the shoe freak that I am, I do feel as if I should have been consulted about this 80s fashion flashback. Yes, there are worse 80s fashions that could re-emerge, but I am still not sure that jelly shoes in fact need to resurface in closets everywhere this summer.

This topic came to mind this weekend when I saw a Westlake High Schooler donning a nice white pair of jelly shoes (seen above). I almost laughed...remembering my parents saying that all fashion tends would indeed come around again. I scoffed at them at the time...but chuckle now at how correct they were.

So in an effort to make sure they were indeed coming back (or I guess they already are back)...I did a Google search (when in doubt, right) for "jelly shoes" and found a myriad of different sites devoted to these little numbers. There was even an entry in Wikipedia. I was also startled to find that jelly shoes, which were once only flat...now come in a variety of styles including high heels. And, even more shocking was that major designers including Michael Kors have come out with a few themselves. What a steal…Jellies for $150!!!! Argh! I am sorry to say that this Imelda Marcos is keeping her jellies in the back of the closet where they belong. It seems others agree. What about you?

Jelly Shoes. Why?
