Uggs and Birkenstocks and storks, oh my!

I'm bopping around the internet checking out the clearance sales and new arrivals and honestly, I have seen some really astonishingly hideous stuff that is begging to be mocked. Except in many cases, words fail me. I could provide an amusing rant about a single item, but the Saks website's clearance section, even when narrowed down to items that would actually fit me, consists of thirty pages of eye-rollers. After a while, I was speechless. Yes, literally speechless.

And then I came upon an item at Nordstrom. Let's see if I've conceptualized my take on it sufficiently clearly.

What would happen if this
 and this
got married and had a baby?

You'd get this

which can be yours for the low, low price of $328.98.

But wait—it gets better! These "boots" also come in Winter White. In case you think black is too slimming.
I don't know about you, but I can never make my feet look big and wide enough. Amirite???

Honestly, if my feet hurt so much that this—how can I put this tactfully—"Hazmat footwear" sums it up best, I suppose—were my only option ... I'd stay home.

  1. Interesting. I have the Birks and the Uggs (which I do not wear outside my home) but would never have thought to combine them!

    1. I also have a pair of Uggs that I wear inside during the winter. The house can never be too cold for Mr. Buxom, and sometimes my feet are freezing. I even wear them with wool socks.

      But really, these are BEYOND.
