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.

Retro Shoes

I love vintage shoes, but between the heavy wear and narrow fit, I have to indulge my wants with fabulous reproductions. Mary Janes, t-straps, peep toes, low heels. If it looks like it's from the 20s-50s, I'm there! I like to wear them with Victorian jewelry and funky outfit. How do you wear retro heels?

Metallic Shoes

Over a couple of fabulous martinis, becca and I were discussing how many people comment on our metallic shoes. (She has some gold heeled Frye booties and I have low heeled oxfords.) It's like they've never thought of gold or silver as belonging anywhere but on jewelry or a New Year's Eve dress. Not only do they snazz up an everyday jeans and tunic, but they can be used as party shoes too. (Yes, I would wear my oxfords to a party. I'm funky like that.) As you can see from my laments of craving below, metallics are my perfect shoe color.Top: silver cutout wedge, Jeffrey Campbell at Urban Outfitters $128 (Want!)
disc flat, Enzo Angiolini "Zella" on Endless $88.95
gold pump, Shellys of London at Mod Cloth $94.99
Bottom: pewter unicorn heels, Jeffrey Campbell "Michelle" at Nordstrom $119.95 (Still want!)
silver point toe flat, Cindy Says "Chill" on Endless $124.93 (Want!)

Sweet Sleep Bra

I've been waiting Anthropologie's ruffled bra and panty set to go on sale. What it lacks in the sex appeal of Anya's retro ensemble, it makes up for in cute ribbons and ruffles. The set is available in cream and pink, rose and black, or grey and black, but I prefer the dark of the latter to offset the sweetness of the look. The bra was $58, which is silly for a cotton, wireless sleep bra, but the price has dropped to $29.95. That's at least worth thinking about. $30 for panties, however, is still laughable.
