Can You Wear Birkenstocks with Skinny Jeans?

Unpacking our perpetually complicated feelings about pants—live from a hot spring!

You’re listening to Burnt Toast!

We are Virginia Sole-Smith and Corinne Fay, and it’s time for your April Indulgence Gospel.

Virginia

Which we are recording in the same room!

Corinne

It’s really weird. I’m really used to looking at my computer screen to see you.

Virginia

I’m not in there. 

Corinne

It’s confusing.

Virginia

To paint the picture for everyone: I came to New Mexico. It’s my kids’ spring break from school. They’re on a trip with their dad. So I came to New Mexico so we could have the first official Burnt Toast offsite work retreat. I mean, it’s always offsite because we work out of our houses, but now we’re not in our houses. We are at Ojo Caliente, which is a hot springs spa resort in New Mexico, near Santa Fe. We spent the morning in the hot springs and now we are recording a podcast in my hotel room. We are surrounded by all of the pillows from the bed. You will need to bear with this audio not necessarily being quite as perfect as our normal audio because we are not in our home studios. 

Corinne

We will make up for that with in-person chemistry.

Virginia

The banter should be more delightful than ever! Here’s what we’re getting into:

  • What to say if your tween switches to Diet Coke?

  • How to embrace “joyful movement” when you hate exercise.

  • Are electrolyte drinks a fun “end of day” beverage?

  • Virginia’s most unpopular opinion (yes it’s about skinny jeans).
