Remember wedges? Please tell me that I am not the only one.
I am half way between wincing and laughing as I reflect back on my days as a fashionista.
I can still see myself balancing precariously in a pair of wedges, cork to be exact and about 6 inches solid, that took every ounce of balance and athletic skill I possessed to keep upright.
How I looked as I wobbled along, trying to keep my equilibrium, I don’t even want to think about.
How I never ended up in hospital with broken ankles or legs is beyond me; lucky I guess.
The worst part, I truly, truly did think they were fabulously cool. Hindsight takes no prisoners.
I can still envision my father to this day, the bewildered expression on his face, as I tottered around in what looked to him like bricks strapped to my feet.
Too kind to say anything; too smart perhaps.
A love of fashion has no bounds.
They are back it would seem, the wedges are bigger and brighter than ever this coming season.
Thankfully maturity has kicked in and while I am an adopter of the latest with the greatest of gusto, I am also more conservative than I once was. I am decidedly more agile at adaption.
Making trends work for me, rather than the other way around.
I do like wedges and I admire them on many, but some are more flattering and practical than others.
I have been browsing Nordstrom, a dangerous but very fun pastime and found my favourites from the family owned Spanish brand, Pedro Garcia.
I like the clean lines, the modern look yet they don’t remind me of my misguided past.
They have a femininity to them, some wedges can appear too orthopedic and too aging to be flattering.
I see myself wearing these with so many looks; dresses, full skirts, capri pants and even a tailored suit.
By the way, never with socks or tights. *wink*
And did I mention that these are super comfortable? xv
