Crocs mean business
April 1st, 2008I’ve decided to give Crocs another chance. My eye has adapted to the look and what I once thought was a ghastly ped, is really not that bad. They offer excellent ventilation for hot days and are the perfect walking shoe. I’m making a super fashion statement by wearing black Crocs with a black skirt suit. I receive loads of compliments when I wear this look and am rather chuffed. In fact, I may have started a trend. Try this great way of dressing down your business formal attire.
Keep the look streamlined by sticking to a monochromatic palette for this ensemble.

haha..very funny

I, too, could not stand crocs when I first saw them — on my mother’s feet. she absolutely insisted that they were the best shoes for her aching feet and back. As much as I can’t stand the look of crocs, I do have to reluctantly admit that my mother has been …classy? in her use of them. She sticks with the monochromatic shoes that create a blended ensemble and she even manages to hide the fact that she is wearing crocs. I work in a preschool in the summer time and have discovered that for practicality reasons, the light-wieght, closed toed, airy crocs are a perfect combination of practicality and safety for that environment.

April 1st, 2008 at 7:25 am

April 1st, 2008 at 7:26 am

April 1st, 2008 at 7:30 am
Angie, you are a funny, funny girl…
April 1st, 2008 at 7:42 am
Oh good, it’s a joke! I thought you had lost your mind!
April 1st, 2008 at 7:49 am
Oh man, if you had been seious I might have given up on this site altogether! Phew! thats a relief.
April 1st, 2008 at 7:53 am
I was gonna say, I’M JUST NOT SEEING IT WORKING, but only after starting to read these replys did I realize I had been a victim of April Fool’s Day. Good one Angie. You got me good!
April 1st, 2008 at 7:54 am
Gasp!!! You got me!!! Now, I’m “prepared” for what the rest of the day may hold…
April 1st, 2008 at 7:57 am
I think this would look especially sharp if you added some of those jewel add-on thingies to the crocs. Very nice, indeed.
April 1st, 2008 at 8:00 am
I would prefer to see you “pop” the outfit with a brightly colored croc instead.
April 1st, 2008 at 8:01 am
Oh wait. This is bettter:

You got me!
April 1st, 2008 at 8:28 am
HA! Got me!
April 1st, 2008 at 8:43 am
I’ve been “had” too! I thought you’d really lost your mind!! (Hey, what does “chuffed” mean??)
April 1st, 2008 at 8:44 am
Even though I was thinking about possible pranks as I clicked on this entry, you got me for a few seconds. Good job!
April 1st, 2008 at 8:50 am
Ghastly! Could scarcely believe what I was reading. I felt betrayed! Please never, never change your mind about these hideous shoes. I would seriously have to question your fashion sense! You had me–that was a good joke. Would like to respond in kind–but I’m not quite as cheeky as you my dear. Cheeky little squirrel you are!!
April 1st, 2008 at 8:59 am
Oh my. Now let’s hope that what Marlene pointed us to (http://shop.crocs.com/pc-1174-…..n=products) is an April’s Fool joke as well. Sadly, I think it ain’t…
April 1st, 2008 at 9:04 am
You made it believable (almost) by saying sticking to it monochromatically…
Good one!
April 1st, 2008 at 9:24 am
Hehehehehe… You gotta love Photoshop.
I edited your two photos above. 
Enjoy!

Well, you got me, too. I could not believe what I was reading and seeing, all the time thinking that I wouldn’t be caught dead in those things, no matter what Angie said! Glad to know we still share the same philosophy!
April 1st, 2008 at 10:02 am
oh my goodness! i was starting to get enraged. haha! april fools!
April 1st, 2008 at 10:03 am
Happy April Fools!
April 1st, 2008 at 10:35 am
I thought you had lost your mind! Until I read the replies! Thank goodness, I can’t stand crocs on any over the age of 8!
April 1st, 2008 at 10:36 am
I believed it…until I got to the part about wearing them with your suit!
April 1st, 2008 at 10:48 am
first of all, i almost fell off the chair when i read this. i thought that, perhaps, i must need to call some type of dr. for you - meds perhaps? crocs? are you CRAZY??? but then, i realized that this is April 1, and that you have a great sense of humor!
ha ha ha….
April 1st, 2008 at 10:56 am
April Fools :).
April 1st, 2008 at 11:53 am
absolutely brilliant
I’m such a sucker!
April 1st, 2008 at 1:28 pm
My brother and his wife are nurses and they wear them to work. They say they are pretty comfortable in the Emergency Room. Anyway I wanted to get a pair for my mother as she is diabetic and they have a style for that purpose. The only problem was that I couldn’t figure out how she could wear them … I imagine all kind of casual outfit but a suit… !!! Thanks God I kept reading the answers!!!
Have a nice day.
April 1st, 2008 at 1:38 pm
Yikes, I had to read that twice - it was almost believable but I was starting to think you’d gone crazy until all the sarcasm came dripping through. Haha. That’s the second time I’ve nearly been suckered today!
April 1st, 2008 at 2:59 pm
Jennifer, you are a great photoshop artist!
April 1st, 2008 at 3:44 pm
Ya got me, too! Have you see, BTW, the 4 inch high heel crocs? Not an April
Fool’s joke
April 1st, 2008 at 4:24 pm
Ha ha, Angie! That was great.

April 1st, 2008 at 4:46 pm
Oh my God for a second there I thought I was going to have to be mean. Thanks Angie, mean is not my thing.
April 1st, 2008 at 5:04 pm
Hahaha you got me until I read the responses as well!
Nice one :]
April 1st, 2008 at 5:05 pm
Oh and you should be proud to know that this is the only April Fool of the day that I actually fell for (and believe me, there were quite a few)!
April 1st, 2008 at 5:17 pm
Happy to say I immediately knew it must be a joke. No self-respecting fashionista could like crocs!
April 1st, 2008 at 5:23 pm
Totally got me until I started to quickly scroll to through the comments to post my dissatisfaction and saw all the smiley faces.
April 1st, 2008 at 7:26 pm
Happy April Fool’s Day!
Just for the record, Crocs are still the ugliest shoes I’ve ever seen and I do not recommend wearing them with a suit, or anything else. Back to stylish business tomorrow.
April 1st, 2008 at 7:41 pm
I can’t believe I fell for it for the first 60 seconds! You are so funny. Thank you for lightening my day
April 3rd, 2008 at 7:31 am
This is so funny. You got me too.
April 7th, 2008 at 5:41 pm
Heart attack, Angie! I tell my 4 year old daughter that Crocs are for gardening, for taking to swim class, and going to the beach. She won’t even touch the thing to go to Starbucks.
