a bunch

ones i have/had before: - our legacy camion boots (work w/ any bottoms, owned & loved for 4 years now) - oree infantry boot (best w/ wider bottoms bc intense toe & chunky sole. they’re like better doc platform boots, tumbled leather more comfy) - oree morgan/grant derby (best w/ wider bottoms. nice chunky derby, black corrected leather or brown hairy suede choose your weapon) - morjas loafers (more formal type shape spruces up all outfits, only fit narrow foot) - horatio loafers (fair prices good quality. range of styles, had the horsebits & liked but took bad care of them) - timberland 3 eye moc (best w/ baggy bottoms esp pants that taper a bit or huge shorts) - plasticana gardana clog (my fav shoes ever, like half clog half loafer & quite cheap. size down + get insole. best w/ wider pants) - adidas bw army trainers (essentially a lace to toe samba, watch out for foam tongue though) - adidas superstar (put fat laces in them, best w/ anything more baggy/relaxed) ones i haven’t: - balenciaga strike boot (super chunky sole combat boot) - vintage cowboy boots (hunting some myself) - frye campus boot (high calf square toe boot with a generous heel)

XXhigh Converse and boot sneakers

Anything resembling the knee high chucks i craved desperately during my pseudo-scene phase in middle school. except this trend will be overused by me because i have adult money and resentment for never owning a pair before. I could see the isabel marant type coming up too, i know we are kind of already there. I also think loafers are gonna get weird. not in like a sperry loafer 80s way but in an inflatable monk strap kind of way.

list

plasticana gardana clog. the brooklyn man shoe. so damn comfy and goes with EVERYTHING. 10/10 my fav shoes of all time probably, have worn nearly every day the last 14 months anything from oree nyc, they basically make what i call doc martens for adults and most all their shoes have a lug sole with foam spacer. i have their infantry boots and morgan derbies. big fan timberland 3 eye mocs. theres some sick versions out there, i have a supreme collab pair with braided leather from 2022 that i still wear a good amount vintage gucci loafers or horatio beaufoy loafers. i like the lug sole ones most personally but all look great with basically anything. have personally owned horatio‘s standard beaufoy model and would avoid the tumbled leather options though they get floppy with time adidas superstar. less played out than a samba but still great. have owned many black pairs over the years. watch out for the mesh lining it is susceptible to overwear/ripping if you don’t have them in a rotation, in rotation they can last years literally any kind of mary jane, especially the tabi ones but the mary jane is just a beautiful shoe in basically all incarnations. don’t own any rn would love to though

Starting over

“Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.” — Anaïs Nin This is uncharacteristically raw and personal, even for me, and pretty heavy! I know many of you have seen me posting through it and I feel safe to talk about it openly now that I’ve safely landed at the start of my new life. It’s honestly even a little bit embarrassing but I think it’s important to share. I’ve never publicly mentioned it on here, but I have a husband; as of Friday, we’d have been together for 11 years, and we’ve been married for 3 years as of 2/22. I realize now that I wanted to explore what I looked like outside of my relationship with him because I had lost that. This is why PI.FYI has been so meaningful to me as a space to express myself and connect with people—to rediscover my voice. I had been living a lie this entire time, to others but worst of all to myself. He’s been verbally and emotionally abusive, physically but without touching me, to the point that every day I spent with him I was in danger. I’ve been shrinking myself and walking on eggshells to avoid making him insecure and provoking his casual put-downs and fits of rage, while hanging on for dear life to the threads of good I could see. I’ve wanted so badly to leave, more than anything, but I felt like there was no way out and that this was just something I would need to endure indefinitely—but someone who is so very dear to me helped me see that I have wings to fly, not by acting as my savior but by reminding me of my own power. The emotional safety they built and the gentle care they showed me made me feel like I could open up to them. With their encouragement I was brave enough to tell the truth to my friends, my family, my boss, and they have received me with warm, loving and open arms and rallied to support and protect me. The financial and  logistical aspects were the most intimidating to me and it’s going to be tough for a while but I’m going to be better than okay! Now I’m opening up to you. This isn’t the only abuse I’ve suffered in my life, and my old therapist told me she believed it was my mission to share my strength and light with others to inspire them and show them that change is possible. I hope that by sharing this, I can reach even just one person who is going through something similar and show that they are not alone, and they are not weak. People with certain backgrounds may be more vulnerable to abuse, but it can happen to anyone. It thrives in darkness, shame, and isolation—and breaking that silence is the first step toward freedom. Leaving is the scariest thing I have ever done but I have so many angels around me, and I am endlessly grateful. Thank you for being here with me 💌

Never changing

My dad teases me about how when I was a little kid, my favorite thing to do when I was on the landline phone with somebody—be it a relative or one of my best friends—was to breathlessly describe the things that were in my bedroom so that they could have a mental picture of everything I loved and chose to surround myself with, and where I sat at that moment in time. Perfectly Imperfect reminds me of that so thanks for always listening and for sharing with me too 💌
