We saw a lot of VB while in Florida over the weekend. I think some of the styles and patterns are cute, others look like old lady bags (but, I"m fast approaching "old lady" status anyway). The comment I made to my daughter was that I couldn't see them being very practical in Michigan. With all the salt and slush mess that gets on our cars, our bags brush against the car and get the mess on them too. With leather, you can wipe it off easily, with a VB, you'd be washing it every other day. I just don't see them holding up in our climate.
As for Crocs, I don't have a pair, but I tried them on this weekend and they were definitely very comfy. I am considering buying some. I second SWTX when she says "you don't want to look at my bunions in flip flops". Besides, flip flops in Michigan in February... well, that's just kinda stupid. After a gazillion attempts and just as many blisters between my toes, I have finally conceded that no thong shoe will ever work for me. It's just the way it is. I could see picking up Crocs to wear when I'm knocking around town, grocery shopping, kids sporting events,etc. You reach an age where it's more about comfort and less about fashion.. and I'm there!
