Pimp my havis

Shoe racks and streets around the cities of Brazil, Germany and the United States headline a new footwear movement. Their respective trendy brands - Havaianas®, Birkenstock®, and Crocs™ - have surpassed the “What’s Hot!” list and graduated to wardrobe staples, and even classic status.

As many of us are creatures of comfort, there is a temptation to dress for work in these brands or their spin-offs.

Before, I have to hold on to my jewel-encrusted flip-flops and trusty lightweights because it was prohibited in our office premises no matter how liberal our company dress code is. I have to save them for the beach or the Organic Market, and wear sneakers or loafers to work instead. Good thing I can fashionably wear them now to my new office!

It has became my most recent indulgence.
