Apple pie, Bruce Springsteen, and denim all scream red, white, & blue to me.
The most “American” jacket?
A jean jacket.
Created in 1880 by Levi’s, to me, denim jackets are synonymous with Americana.
Denim jackets are great, however the ones I love most are lined with shearling…

What shoe department would we categorize Birkenstock Bostons in…
Clogs? Mules? Slides? Backless loafers?
I think “clog” is the most appropriate name for Birkenstock Boston shoes, uh, I mean clogs.
Despite not having any wood on them, they’ve got an open back, are ridiculously comfortable, deceptively ugly, yet so easy to slip on and wear all day.
…
I don’t care what you call them…

Hunter boots are a pain to wear.
… like they look really cute, but they’re heavy.
While most celebrities wear them at Glastonbury, clocking in at 2 pounds, they aren’t easy to wear all the time.
Let alone a city in the summer.

Chanel ballet flats? Love them.
Chanel slingbacks? Love them.
Chanel espadrilles? … I just can’t decide if I love them.
It’s not my fault though, like, I didn’t even really want them…
