Seriously?

We've seen these in more than one boutique around town in the last week:


Oh, those aren't fugly earrings, sweets. They're good old shoe clips.

Shop Girl rocked shoe clips on one occasion: a particularly disastrous regional fair pageant in the fall of 1994. They spiffed up a pair of black patent flats paired with a taffeta/lace/sequined aqua monster prom dress we got hand-me-downed from a neighbor girl. And calling them shoe clips might have been generous. In most circles they would have been called "Mom's clip-on earrings." Whatevs.

Anyway shoe clips apparently will soon be featured in all the fashion mags this fall. If you want to get ahead of the trend, check out Box Turtle, where you can find the selection above for $25.
