Totally Far Out

   Growing up in the 70s meant looking longingly at the fashions my older cousins wore.  Chunky wooden heeled sandals, faded bell bottoms, and crocheted shirts were the epitome of cool in my young eyes.  Sadly when I could buy my OWN clothes, fashion had jumped to the asymmetrical, jewel-toned look of the 80s (ugh.)
   However, as fashion is cyclical, what goes around comes around, and I can create that look I longed for once again.  The wooden heel is back! The wedge heel is back!  And I’m old enough now …

   So grab your bubble gum Kissing Potion, spray on the Love’s Baby Soft, and come in for the grown-up version of Dr. Scholl’s – Cydwoq’s “Revolt.” Or perhaps Miz Mooz’s “Yael” which has a  super comfortable cork and leather wedge heel, or the equally comfy Biviel wedges #3123.  Top ‘em off with some ultra light wooden earrings from Daphne Olive, and ahhh – the dreams of a young girl are fulfilled.
