I am a 45 yr. young (!!) mother of three grown children.
So, I went shopping this weekend and bought two pairs of slip on Vans Classic.
You know...The ones w/the checkers on them.
Well....The
nerve.
My children are mortified. They actually asked me if I was actually going to wear those in public. Of course, I said, I wasn't going to spend $50 on a pair of sneakers/kicks just to wear them around the house.
They then told me I was too old to wear Vans...Esp. checkered slip-on's and that if I wore them, I would look like a joke.
I told my kids I wore them as a kid, I admit, but still love them because they are quick and easy to put on (duh!) plus the high quality of Vans shoes in general makes them a good value.
Plus I DO live in California!
Opinions?
