Ill wear the shoes, but i wont listen to the music



so, a few months ago, my mother is cleaning out her garage. she brings me about 5 boxes of stuff. in the bottom of one of the boxes were my perfectly preserved tan mary jane Docs. amazing. there they were, like they were never gone. even though its been over 10 years since ive worn, or even seen them. they were just hiding away in the garage, next to my old toys & my stepdad's bikes. waiting for the perfect moment to emerge, like they knew that it was time for them to be uncovered! Docs are back my friends. im seeing them everywhere. editorials, on blogs, being snatched up on ebay. i have to say they are not really my style anymore, but the nostalgia factor is amazing. These brown beauties got me through many a high school moment. along with their sisters, my black 8 holes Docs & my black oiled leather mary janes Docs, where they are i know not. i hope they are happy. I probably wont be wearing them much, but maybe once or twice, ill slip them on with my jean skirt & white tee & take a stroll down memory lane. with a smile on my face cuz they are originals, and they're all mine.
