Maybe it’s just that I haven’t been on the side of the internet discussing Paloma Wool, but I feel like I haven’t seen any hype around the brand outside of 2020 and the swirl sweater (which was, to be fair, beautiful). They don’t have a very large size selection so like half of their products are already not going to fit, and the price point is too high for me to buy a bunch of sizes and figure out what will, or could. So for me, at least, it’s fallen out of favor. HOWEVER. I logged on recently to take a peek because they do have gorgeous gorgeous pieces and I like to peruse for inspiration, and I found these absolute beauties. I love Mary Janes, but I want mine clunky and weird. I think the chunky sole trend is literally atrocious, and I would never ever go anywhere near them. Enter these: they scream being nine years old and wanting cute shoes that you can also wear on the playground. (Not trying to self-infantilize here, just trying to explain the practicality I need in a shoe.) These are fucking awesome. Ending on a high note here. These are just so sporty and fugly and I love them.
