A Farewell

Goodbye, beloved Vans slip-ons.
2004-2013















I got these shoes before I left for Charleston,
I'm fairly confident that I was the only girl down
there wearing skull sneakers and not Rainbow flip flops.
(very popular in the south-for whatever reason)

These sneakers moved up to NY with me and that is
where they really met their demise.  The city is so cruel to shoes.
I did try to wear them last summer but they barely functioned
as footwear at that point. I had to part with them, and as
I put them in the trash my heart did break a little.


I should note that I'm not a hoarder, just a sucker for nostalgia.
