WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND...

CLOGS.... wtf? i mean i get it, i'm not fashionably retarded. I understand that all it takes for a trend to pick up these days, is for a quirky IT-girl or in this case BrIT-girl (hello Alexa Chung, Daisy Lowe & Geldof daughters) to wear a fugly shoe and suddenly it becomes the most coveted item of the season.

 (Ummmm Alexa? I hate to point this out but i think maybe
your Clogs weigh more than you do...... just saying)

But really? Honestly?
Clogs?!?!?!?
Didn't we already do that in the late 90's? I distinctly remember owning a pair & wearing them to death with absolutely every single outfit in my wardrobe even if they didn't match (c'mon i was like 10)
I'll admit they were a lot lower in height & may have even had a bit of a peeptoe (i do remember they were Black) & god forbid the design of the Clunky-mcClunker shoe from the 90's wasn't as pretty looking as some of the ones you see now.
 
(Circa 1997)


It does make me wonder if anyone - after hearing the latest shoe trend was Clogs, Clogs, Clogs OMC (oh my clog) - actually went out and bought the distant relative of this season's hipster/indie/fashionista's bestfriend: The old-school DUTCHmeister Clog aka "The Original Clog" in all its glory & then proudly worn them out in public thinking "Wow I'm totally fashion-forward & edgy, everyone in the club's checkin out my clogs all jealous coz i'm soooo stylish"
.......awwwwwkwaaaaaaaaard (cue tumble-weed)

(wrong ones dear....)


So there you go, my opinion on the absolutely ridiculous looking,
fucking impossible to walk in,
loudly clunky,
fat nuissance,
heavy mother f-er of a shoe that is the CLOG {*squeals like teenage yuppie*}

i'm gonna get me some ASAP.................NOT!
