The Catherinette Chronicles

This one goes out to those of you that live in any city where the temperature will drop below 70 degrees.  I’d like to take this opportunity that we are nearing a time of year that I like to call “winter.”  In these here parts something crazy starts to happen: it gets cold and we get snow.  This means that it’s time to put away the sandals.

There is no reason whatsoever that you should be wearing sandals during this time of year in this city.  I guess an exception would be that:

1. You lost a bet and as a result you have to walk around in sandals so everyone can mock you;
2. You’re in some kind of play that requires that you wear sandals;
3. Someone paid you big money to wear them.

That’s it, not other reason.

This afternoon in the cafeteria I saw a woman who was wearing sandals with her jeans.  With.  Her.  Jeans.  That is unacceptable. I would have walked right up to her and slapped her across her mouth, however, I like being employed as I have to pay for my cocktails somehow.  Instead, I glared at her and silently judged her.  I hope that taught her an important lesson.

People, let’s do one another a favor this holiday season: let’s abide by the fashion rules that are out there for a reason.  No more sandals in any cities where snow may fall.
