Clogs

I've been wrestling with myself about the weird trend that is the clog. I've so confused myself about it. When I first heard of the clog coming back I thought it was the most awful, 50 year old woman comfort shoe being restyled for YA (young adult aka teens) 20somethings and beyond. I couldn't believe it! They all looked so awful. And then everyone started wearing them (well not people that I actually know, and no jcrew doesn't carry them (yet) but madewell the sister company does) but every fashion forward celebrity did. And then I was like, well I guess if I found the pair for me I'd be okay with it, plus they just seem comfy although I'm sure many are not. THEN I was looking on anthro's site and saw they had a whole category dedicated the clogs. really, a whole category. And I suppose it doesn't really surprise me that they sell them but having a whole category. I guess the clog is here and here to stay for sometime. But don't worry I haven't found a pair worthy for these feet. Besides there are shoes, clothes, accessories much MUCH higher on my list of wants than a clog.

and yes, this was post worthy. also, I saw a lot of post worthy items on anthro's site, but I'm really working to steer clear of doing things that might tempt me to spend money on not groceries. (and yes, I realize that I was looking at their website, but you know, baby steps. PLUS I did not try on a very, super, adorable skirt that got returned to work today)

  4. Denim Jacket, Kaki Skirt, and Brown Clogs. This outfit gives me nightmares... if only the clog part is in style, fine. I think I can handle that, and I know some girls look frigginawesome in them. But those girls look frigginawesome in everything.

    When I asked Brad if I should get some clogs, he was so confused... Like, the Holland dancing shoes? haha
