Just imagine, it's like we're collectively giving this great big country a hug, from our respective coasts.
Dude, I looove Birkenstocks. When I was in high school, I could not afford real Birkenstocks, but I found two pairs of knock-offs at Payless for $5 each, one brown and one black. I then found seven floral print knee-length dresses on clearance at a boutique that was closing, also for only $5 a dress. That was my wardrobe for high school. Like, every single day, for four years. I added knit stockings in the winter. I was saving up for college, and that was all I could afford, and it suited me just fine.
I was still wearing my standard hippy uniform when I met Mr Mischka in college. He haaated my Birks. As if he was one to sniff at sartorial choices - he sported a chain wallet and a rotation of heavy metal tees. Fortunately for him, after seven years of daily wear, my beloved faux Birks died, and I had to find other shoes. Now that I'm in a walkable city, Mr Mischka just gifted me this pair of real Birks for my birthday this year. And since I am recovering from a broken foot, they are my daily staples. Today I just happen to also be wearing a knee length floral dress with them.
So you really are the live action version of Daria is what you're saying?
