recently i have been thinking a lot about footwear. i feel like i want something basic, and everything out there looks too new. it's also important that my shoes are as sturdy as possible, because i am hard on my clothes and like things to last as long as possible, so they get worn in and completely mine.
i love my frye boots, but sometimes they are a little too clunky and i don't always want things that go up that high. i usually wear my plain white vans. but i think there is a new option.
clogs.
i'm pretty sure we originally called clogs as a joke, because we were laughing about how cool moccosins had become, and how urban outfitters was probably going to start carrying carhart coats any day (i still maintain that this will happen, maybe this winter). anyways, dansko clogs are the most utilitarian shoe because i think of them as a work shoe, since they are what servers usually prefer to wear. but i am starting to fall in love with clogs as a footwear choice.
lisa of le bouton (who we are in love with) wears an old pair here. she is also wearing some new trousers that i really love.
here is an old pair i found on a google search. i just love how worn in and beautiful the leather is.
and here they are in basic basic basic black.
i have a fond spot in my hear for clogs, because for 2 years in highschool both anna and i only wore jcrew clogs, which were suede and wood. i loved them. i also had a pair that i wore all the time senior year. i'm wearing them in our pictures from when we visited rachel at colorado college. they were surprisingly warm and sturdy. they never broke.
this great store in brooklyn called bird was selling some clogs this summer. they went on clearance, so obviously they weren't that popular, but still. and i love the rachel comey clog heels.
maybe it's time for clogs again.
