what goes around comes around

i had a pair of these in high school.

i didn't have lots of shoes in high school. just a few favorites for the seasons that i wore till they wore-out.

but these Kork-Ease Sandals were one of them.

well.....they're back. and it's funny because i was just thinking about those old high school shoes a few weeks ago. thinking...."those were great shoes, i wish i still had those shoes, now those were simple, stylish shoes".

i first saw them again here: www.sundancecatalog.com and i suffered from a bit of "sticker-shock". in the early 70's i scooped ice cream and worked in the record or junior fashion dept at Sears, i either walked or road my bike to work. i don't remember what i paid for those shoes but i doubt that it was even a fourth of the new asking price.

since first seeing them in that little, innocent catalog that arrived in my post they are EVERYWHERE. they are the talk of all the blogs, in all the fashion mags, splashed all over Entertainment Tonight. oh yeah....i love to be fashionable just like the next gal but really i just LOVE those shoes!

i didn't know they were "the new Uggs". and of-course, just for kicks, because of my common foot size, on said website the "popular" color, that i want is on the famous back order till who-knows-when. if you do some searching they can be found out and about, here and there.

(i know because my shippment arrived yesterday!!!!!)
