Okeh. It's true...once again writing about shoes/footwear. Perhaps I AM obsessed. But, still, I am picky...which counts for something. My closet isn't filled with shoes. But yes, I spend alot of time analyzing shoes, looking at other people's shoes, and going to shoe-stores in search of the perfectly proportioned kick. Yes.
Yesterday I had a revelation. I love fat shoelaces! How retro can you get. I don't know if it's possible to declare coolness in a cheaper way..ok, other than a great personality, of course....thanks mom...but seriously, fat shoelaces are the way to go. I have done research: and there are not a lot of places online to buy the fatties.
But: if you are brave enough to receive a box from Hot Topic (the cheesy mall punk adolescent store) then the world of fat shoelaces can lay open on your plate like a giant oyster because you can order some pretty cool fatties online from them....for like 2 bucks. Pink and black striped, black checkers....some others I can't recall.... However, I'm still partial to the old skool argyle....very breakdancer. Very 80s. I I used to have the argyles in yellow and pink flourescent. So cute.
Anyhoo...a couple of props to the skinny shoelace...there are lots of varieties of those out there, too. And they can add just as much pop to a sad ol pair of kicks. Hot Topic also features an extremely rad pair of black skinny laces with green stars....understated. mmm.
Here's the link to The Hot Topic Shoelaces Page Seriously, you might want to reconsider before checking out the other HT pages....they have an ABHORRENT selection of gothy platform shoes and those weird big pants with all the zippers....honestly, I didn't even know they made that stuff anymore. gah.
