Aren't designer jelly shoes just the silliest, silliest things?
Some people are pissed off at the nerve of designers, charging hundreds for what are inherently cheap, disposable shoes...but I think it's just so funny that I have to love the whole phenomenon. When that rubber-shoe brand (I can't remember the name for the life of me, though it's something like "minnie"--help, anyone?) did the collabs with all the high-end lines, jellies that would have otherwise been pooh-poohed by the fashionistas were suddenly embraced as high fashion's most charming new thing (and, when you're used to paying $195 for Tory Burch Revas, I guess paying $95 for the jelly version seems totally reasonable. I GUESS.).
I've just got to love that the shoes I had a new $10 pair of every summer as a little kiddie (pink and sparkly, thankyouverymuch) now have a new life as runway darlings. Tooooo funny.

agreed. For all the ridiculousness, I actually have been craving a pair of sparkly clear ones. I remember having sparkly clear ones that look a bit like gladiators (flats, not dominatrix heels).
I always hope when I post comments like this that someone at Urban Outfitters reads them, LOL.
