The Whole White Shoe Thing

WHAT DOES IT MEAN!?!
No, but really.

What is happening?

I mean, I know white's, like, a super refreshing!! color for summer and all, but this is insane. This is no longer affection in moderation -but a full-blown footwear overhaul. White shoes aren't only sweeping the entire blogging clique, but my Pinterest boards, my instagram feed, my 10,000 bookmarked shopping websites, and not to mention my poor little easily-manipulated mind.
So once again, I prove that I am anything but immune to whatever persuasive powers that be decided to establish that white footwear no longer remain relegated to my grandma's awkward-heeled ankle booties and Pam Beesly's depressingly clean Keds.

Honestly, if a year ago you would have told me that I'd have 4 pairs of non-ironically purchased white shoes sitting in my possession, I would have laughed in your face and called you a stupid idiot. (I'm also working on handling my social skills. It's a process.)

Now I can't imagine living without the ease of the phenomenon to which I'm quickly learning to refer as the "white shoe effect". 

This occurs when you take an outfit that's either too casual/low key/bland/weird to be cool/cool to be weird , etc, etc,  
and top (/bottom) it off with a spankin' white shoe. 
blouse: vintage (similar), jeans; Citizen of Humanity (try ebay), shoes: thrifted (good ones)
Baddabingbaddaboom.

"an outfit game-changer"[!!!]
says anonymous photo captioner at Harpers Bazaar
exclamation points my own

Magically you look super fly AND you simultaneously expose your footwear to the world as mini canvasses for crap. Think of all the dogs that could paint those pristine babies brown. 
Too far? 
too far. 

But really. What makes them so appealing?

Cheers.

    Lol, I don't understand why you are not a sensation in the blogging world yet? There is a serious shortage of great bloggers, offering witty commentary along with supah fly outfits amongst the 'top bloggers'.. wtf?
