Why the Mule Lives Rent Free in My Mind
Out of all the things my brain could be occupied with, why is it always circling back to a backless shoe? But here we are, and at this point I’ve accepted it: the mule lives rent free in my mind, fully furnished, with utilities included.
There’s just something about a mule that feels effortlessly chic. I love that I can slip them on and suddenly I feel like I have my life together because they actually do go with EVERYTHING. They just do something to an outfit that no other shoe can. Pumps feel formal, sneakers feel too casual, sandals hurt, but a mule? A mule whispers, “I have taste, but I choose to be comfortable”.
Mules are so versatile that luxury designers are making them look like shapeshifters. Have you seen the LV fuzzy wuzzly cortina mules? The classic Hermès go mules? The Stuart Weitzman sherling mules? The TARGET mules? Mules are the “it” shoe of the year, and perhaps they will continue to be in a world where comfort is always chased. They give off clean, minimal, and quiet luxury vibes…and we know ya’ll love quiet luxury. They can go from jeans to dresses to tailored trousers without blinking. Honestly, if I could channel the energy of any fashion item, it would be a mule: steady, dependable, and somehow still…sexy?
Mules feel like the sweet spot between comfort and elegance, the reminder that you don’t need to overdo it to look put together. So yes, the a good ass mule (ha, ha) lives in my mind rent free and honestly I wouldn’t kick it out even if I could.
