Minnetonka Memories



On Saturday Anna was a Wild Flower girl top to bottom in her Kensie Girl cardigan, Rise Up tee, Blank jeans, and 3-fringe whiskey colored Minnetonkas! So what about these moccasins? They've been ever present at Wild Flower for the past five seasons (translate 2.5 years) and we see no signs of them moving to the "donate" bin.

Not forgetting their heritage (Native American myth says we need to thank the medicine man), the moc has been a modern look for every generation since the late 1940s, when Minnetonka opened its doors. The 50s housewife wore them with her peddle pushers. When the hippies adopted them they became a bohemian classic. School girls wore the Thunderbird in the 70s and 80s. We've heard so many moccasin memories; and we're peddling to create more.

So trade in your Uggs, give away your Converse, rethink your cowboy boots, and come over to the other side. It's looking like a little bit of fringe never gets old.
