R.I.P SWEET TOMS

i finally laid to rest (ie. threw away) the very first pair of TOMS i ever owned. they were so good to me and had been through so much trauma. right after painting them i went to a gallows shows during SXSW. i stood front and center in the middle of a mosh pit and they were stepped on and muddied more than i thought possible in the short time they played. luckily with a little soap and water and fresh coat of paint they looked good as new. wear and tear wore them out further, as they had been the only pair of shoes i'd worn since i painted them. finally kerrville folk festival put them out of their misery. 5 days of walking lots of miles around the campsite busted out the seam, and upon returning home i deemed them unwearable. i finally threw them in the garbage a week or so ago. luckily i took a picture to begin the documentation of my TOMS timeline. they were the first in what i'm sure will be a very long line of TOMS shoes i'll own. now i've moved onto a pair of tie-dyed TOMS, compliments of ashlee, one of our lovely HNC employees. they are equally as comfortable, cute, and conversation worthy. still they're pretty much the only pair of shoes i wear. they go with nothing but match everything. i'm in love with TOMS and you should be too. start your own TOMS timeline
