A total Has-been

Perhaps it’s because of my 90s upbringing and my fondness for the personal style of the housemates on MTV’s The Real World: San Francisco (hint: it involved lots of clogs), but there’s just something about a wooden-soled shoe that speaks to me.

Whether you want to invest in the real deal — Swedish Hasbeens — or something slightly more wallet-friendly, there are a ton of options out there that are just ready and waiting to be paired with your floral dresses and flannel shirts.
