Crew Socks?? Say What??

So my new High School and the nearby Middle School are like sister schools, graduate one; go to the other. As a transfer student I am hearing all the stories and slang from middle school and freshman year.

One trend I really just do not understand though is that the supposed popular girls in the middle school would wear Vans crew socks with their Vans shoes and...uniform?? The group themselves were nicknamed the "Crew Socks" and I still hear them referred to as that now, during sophomore year.

I just found this really interesting and just today realized that the High School "Crew Socks" group all wear white van shoes and skinny jeans or short shorts.

And guess what I wore today. That's right, white vans and skinny jeans! And I was subjected to a "matching shoes selfie" with the three other girls at my lunch group wearing the exact same shoes. Does this mean i'm popular?? Does taking a shoe selfie for instagram qualify me..and do i want to be known as a "white vans" girl?

This weekend some serious shopping is in order. I can hear Doc's and some high top Converse calling my name...IM COMING BABIES.
