D.O.P.-T.

The temperature dipped today and the Chronicle weather guy is really emphasising how remarkably warm it's about to be, so I wore long sleeves while I still had that option.

My walk today was a series of close encounters with joggers and cyclists. And just as I was wearing my new sandals, lots of people seem to have bought new sneakers. Lots of fresh-out-of-the-box whiteness.

What do your new sandals look like?

I don't understand the white shoe craze. I'd get mine dirty af and that is just too much cleaning.

Yeah me too but for many people that flash of white, at least the soles, seems to be a big part of sneakers.

Closed-toed and with a bit of a closed heel, that type with an elastic drawstring (which I always manage to wear out; at least on the last pair it didn't actually break). Taupeish with black accents, this time; last year's were brown. I have to wear men's sizes and they're always out of the few bold colours, which may be as well; hazard orange and acid green don't go with evertything I wear '-)

Acid green hahaha :) that's a fashion statement!

I sympathize with your plight of having to use men's sizing, and your sandals sound lovely.

My partner has a new pair of all white mesh sneakers and I swear they are already yellowing. You know, the other day I saw a woman in a restaurant wearing those all white Converse shoes I've dreaded for years, and they looked dirty as hell, but she pulled it off. Maybe I should try it.
