Within a week of moving to northern California, I had bought my first pair of Birkinstocks (something I swore I would never wear). It was totally out of character and I thought my New York City friends were going to disown me.

Turns out that crazy decision to buy a shoe completely outside of my comfort zone (in a fashion sense) forced me to mix things up and per usual, that was a good thing.
