Everything comes back in style
…including pastel jelly shoes from the 80’s.
I found this colorful assortment of nostalgic footwear at The Slipper House in Ala Moana Center. Despite my disdain for the fashion atrocity and my utter amazement to see them back for a second coming in the new millennium, I couldn’t help but to feel a twinge of endearment toward a pair of pink jellies, identical to the ones I owned back in the sixth grade when they were all the rage — the first time.
I had to try them on.
Suddenly, I swore I could hear Madonna singing “Material Girl” and I had the inexplicable urge to buy a pair of legwarmers.
A 30-something Christian girl, blissfully wedded to her perfect match (the yang to her yin) of 14 years. Living life in Hawaii, less than 5 miles from her hometown, a slave to her mortgage payment, but seeking balance in her pursuit of family, faith, recreation, and rest.
Wow….I can’t believe they’re back - just like the 80’s leggings, too!! Natsukashi, ne?
I had a pink pearly pair….
:o)
I remember owning those as well…and yup pink, and I think white…did you end up buying one?
kgirl98: I think we all had at least one pair of those jellies.
Definitely natsukashii!
Shari: Nooooo… I didn’t end up buying a pair. They were better left in the 80’s.
