Clogs are like relationships

Hey blog readers!

Welcome back...

While flipping through a People Style Issue within the comfort of my air-conditioned living room this afternoon I had a revelation. Clogs are like relationships. No no, the Los Angeles heat wave has not gotten to my head. While this platform has ravaged all the runways, been spotted on all the A-list celebrities, and dominated every store front in southern california it is also the epitome of the perfect relationship. The Clog, footwear traditionally worn by workers in factories, mines, etc for protection has become the newest and most sought-after fashion staple, and the foundation of the functional relationship. What do we look for in a good clog?

1) A sturdy bottom preferably in wood or cork...a material that will not falter.

2) A comfortable and gentle material for the top of the foot, one which tries not to damage the pedicure you just spent 20 dollars on.

3) And a creative and fun design to make wearing the clog a fashionable and INDIVIDUALISTIC experience instead of "wow, those shoes swallow her entirely" experience.

Now take a boyfriend, or a girlfriend. You want someone stable, someone who can support you when you need help or when you're feeling a little fragile on your feet. Someone who keeps you warm with their love and care and protects your heart. But lets face it, we all know that we can't fully rely emotionally on someone during a relationship. We need to be able to stand on our own, and let our choices and our path define who we are...instead of letting someone else define us. The clog is a statement piece. So are you. Unique, multi-faceted, practical, artistic, humble, and full of life. The shoe doesn't dominate you. Neither does your partner. You find a perfect balance between one and another the same way a clog looks balanced with cargos and a loose tee. And you know what, the clog will go out of season, it will no longer fit. Similarly, make the most of what comes and the least of what goes. Let people come into your life, and let them leave. Trust that everything is happening exactly as it was always meant to happen.

I'm off now, going to try to get some Michael Kors clogs on sale! I leave you with this affirmation and a lot of love.
