We Discuss: Slippery Slopes.

Disclosure: I get commission for purchases or clicks made through links in this post. 

M: I kind of want fuzzy shearling Birks to wear around the house this winter.


A: That sounds reasonable. Me too.

M: I hate winter.

A: So, so much.

A: Also, I just want to remind you that back in January 2016 you shut me down re. shearling Birkenstocks.

M: I know, I’m a monster.

A: I have Ugg slippers that I love but they’re pretty ratty.

M: Same. And I wish they were more supportive.

M: I’m really unenthused about Birkenstock season ending.

A: ME TOO. I started thinking about it and was all….😢

M: It's cold and I'm wearing booties and my feet are so mad.

A: I am also wearing booties and ugh. I feel like shearling Birkenstock clogs are only a matter of time. Help.

M: Low of 47 Thursday. Like fuck off.

A: Yeah. My issue is that I have to be reasonable and buy the things I actually need.

M: I need to be super strategic but nothing is really making me excited.

A: I need, like, leopard flats and black pants. I want new jeans, a leather jacket, a black cashmere sweater, maybe these boots and now shearling Birkenstocks that I’ll probably end up wearing out of the house oops.

M: Haaaa slippery slope.

A: To be fair, it was shearling clogs I originally wanted, but still. I am tempted.

M: I mean, I'd still raise an eyebrow at wearing them outside of the house but I'm sure in another year I'll only be wearing shearling Birkenstocks.

A: Right! I would buy them solely to wear around the house and then one day I'd accidentally wear them to the grocery store and suddenly they'd be my everyday shoes. Slippery slope indeed.

A: WHO AM I.

M: I JUST WANT THEM FOR AROUND THE HOUSE THAT'S ALL.

A: TOTALLY ME TOO I WOULD NEVER WEAR THEM TO WORK OR MAYBE A LITTLE BIT.

M: So coooozy.

A: My feet are cold right now because my booties have holes them which is stupid. Perf boots are stupid. Everything is stupid.

M: ME TOO. And I refuse to wear socks because I HATE SOCKS. And also they look stupid with perforated boots. Whose dumbass idea was this.

M: I DEFINITELY DON'T WANT THESE AT ALL.

A: SO COZY. SOB.

  1. FWIW, my winter house slippers are my summer Birks, worn with big fat cozy socks. Supportive and warm!

    1. I think that's probably the direction I'm heading towards but Marianne is an avowed sock hater.

  2. I will see your shearling Birkenstocks and raise you shearling Crocs. I wear Crocs around the house because of foot issues, and I really want the shearling lined ones for winter.

  3. I was planning to get these unicorn slippers and call it a day. I (most likely) won't be tempted to wear them out of the house.
