I don’t claim to be a fashionista.
That’s not what this blog is about.
While I like clothes, I don’t obsess over designers and what pattern they are coming out with next.
I’m not against others who do.
Heck, I even read a lot of your blogs!

Saying that – I have a question.
Are the buck shoes from the 1980’s and 1990’s making a comeback?
Or, are they back and I’m just out of the loop?
I’m asking because I’ve seen a few blogs mention them recently and I thought to myself. WOW!
Blast from the PAST!
Here are I am sporting mine back in 1989.
They were THE hot thing back in the day.
I found this photo and laughed.
I had just gotten my braces off the day this was taken.

As for the bow?

Brad and I were driving down the interstate the other day and we looked over and saw some guy wearing a pair while riding a motorcycle.
(Not sure that's typical motorcycle fashion, but any way)
Brad laughed and said, ‘Oh, wow. Bucks. I remember rocking those back in the day. ‘
I didn’t say it to him, but I thought, ‘I think people are rocking those today too. I think they’re back in style.’
Then I found this listing for them on JosABank’s website.

I haven't seen them before, but I could see them in JCrew with some rolled up boyfriend jeans ;)
I hope they are! I love a pretty look.
Topsiders are getting big again, too. LOVE!
I remember those ... not sure if they are back or not ...
I had white bucks, too! And brown ones... Men (and baby boys) still wear white bucks with searsucker but as mainsteam fashion, I don't see them much. BUT - DC is Hollywood for ugly people, so don't take fashion advice for me! Did you wear penny loafers? Those shoes are making a comeback this Fall, I think!
I love, love, LOVE bucs! They were the shoes we had to wear for our high school uniform and I had a tan pair, a white pair, and my favorite...saddle shoe bucs. I have been on the look out for the perfect pair of saddle shoe bucs but can only find them for guys and not for girls.
I had the brown ones and the black and white saddle ones. I remember going to the Bass outlet to get them at the beginning of each school year. The brown ones are so ugly! I hated them. But they were part of the school uniform. I hope they don't make a come back.
I don't see myself wearing them, but I do see them for men/boys. I did wear saddle shoes for cheerleading.
Forgot to say that I had them, too. It's hard for me to remember. I wore some ugly shoes in the early 90s, but I guess they weren't at the time.
Oh my gosh I wore them nearly every day of 6th grade. I loved those! Not sure if I'd wear them now though.
I think I've seen them making a comeback. I don't think I'll be in on this trend. My husband used to wear them even just a few years back, but now he full fancy suit and shoes-no more bucks-ha. I was a bow head too and didn't stop wearing them until I was 21, and if I'm having a girl I plan to own 100+ before she is born-WARNING!
I can definitely see them being back. I saw a girl wearing black Keds on an escalator this week, and they were super cute -- and slightly different from the ones we had in the 80s. Those would also be ripe for a comeback!
