Wedge sneakers! Say it ain't so

michael kors wedge sneakerFashion hell has just frozen over because the "dressy" sneaker is attempting to make a comeback.

I remember back in the 1990's I had a cream colored pair of high-heel sneakers and boy did I think I looked cool. The truth was I looked heinous and so did everyone else who wore those ridiculous shoes. I thought that after having over a decade pass without seeing those fugly shoes that they were officially dead.

I should have known better. No trend ever dies, they come back only bigger and stronger -- like a horror movie monster. Our latest "horror movie" monster is brought to you by Michael Kors. I was truly shocked to see that Michael's name was slapped on these shoes because there is no way these got his seal of approval.

What do you think, am I over reacting or are people really going to wear these shoes?

Models were turned out in dresses and separates with alphabet prints all festively accessorized with colorful charm necklaces and high-heel, Converse-like sneakers paired with thick scrunchy socks. And while the first part of the runway show offered outfits in strictly black and white, the latter part quickly advanced to a neon spectrum.

Those sneakers really give a retro look. Wouldn't they look great with a tennis dress or spaghetti tank top with I Love Harlem on it. The T-shirt Queen
actually got on the show to talk about it,
