The Horror: Floral Slouch Clog

By -
Pardon the people at Irregular Choice. They're not good with words. What they call floral slouch clogs are floral wedge boots. What they call magnificent, I call hideous. What they call a respectable $248, I call insane. Yet someone wants this look. Last year we featured something similar in a solid with a lower wedge.

While a slouchy boot can be fabulously casual, in fabric it doesn't translate well. They look like starched socks. Walking casts. Daddy's spats. Toy hooves. If a classic Louboutin is the Lexus of shoes, these are the Pinto. All boxy and explosive.

I agree those are hideous. I am deeply saddened because the winter version, the slouchy boots, are ADORABLE! you can see a pic here: http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/img-thing?.out=jpg&size=l&tid=11371514

It may be too cutesy for most people, but I thought it would be so adorable worn with jeans and hoodies. Oh well, yeah, those spring clogs just ruined my appetite.

"You Can Wear It Again"

One of my college roommates sent me a book called You Can Wear It Again: A Celebration of Bridesmaids' Dresses by Meg Mateo Ilasco. I must admit I uttered those words to my bridesmaids. The best burgundy fabric we could find was a butterfly brocade, so we ended up making Chinese-style tops (no strapless, backless bra required) and gold skirts. My roommate (on the right) actually wore the top until the zipper died, so maybe I wasn't quite as delusional at these other brides.

The pictures in "You Can Wear It Again" can be a whole lot of fun with a gabby group of girl friends. I plan to cover the pictures in snarky post-it notes and pass it to becca (who will not make me wear satin polka dots and a floppy hat) to do the same. When it makes its way through all our friends, we'll have a great collection of comments.

Just click with you want a better view of these horrors committed to fabric and friendship.
Note to brides: It is unfair to make your sisters, cousins, and b…
