We all wore them--I had white huarachitos for Easter one year. Pink ones at some point in elementary. And I have some fabulous red huarache-inspired wedge shoes now. My husband is totally obsessed with minimalist running shoes now and if I tell him about these huaraches he'd probably make his own and start wearing the Jesus sandals. I didn't call them that--they did. I'm so inner circle on huaraches that never even crossed my mind.
Anyway, I haven't bought any huaraches for baby K just yet, and since summer is almost over and it's almost boots season (ugh, the south Texan in me cringes at the thought of that--not the boot part of course, the cold part) I'll probably just wait until next spring to get her a pair. Or maybe we'll brave sandals in December when I get her dressed up as Juan Diegito on Dec. 12. I already have the outfit!
I totally thought of “jesus feet” when I wrote the words “jesus shoes”!! And I totally thought of you
i can’t hang with shoes that tear up my feet anymore, sadly. not even for the sake of being fashionable. i gotta walk in dc, gotta keep it real, you know.
I went to Plaza Olvera about a month ago and really wanted to buy more huaraches for Julian.. but he already has 3 pairs my family has been sending over from Mexico so I think I have enough lol OMG I’m planning to dress him up for el día de la Virgen too!!
omg, i think u r me and we are living in alter-universes!!!
my diegito should probably be a virgen, but i don’t care. hope she doesn’t mind the cross-dressing
I love Olvera street!!! Cute!
I still think of your “Jesus Feet” expression from time to time and completely crack up!
