Going Dutch
The word clog may conjure up visions of little Dutch girls sporting braids and a pinafore or free-spirited hippies getting in the groove at Woodstock. If you’ve been paying any attention to recent runway trends however, you’ll notice that the clog has re-emerged as this season’s must-have shoe, and it’s had a makeover. The clog circa 2010 is a sleeker, studded, more modern breed than the ones of the past. The verdict is in: clogs are cool. Paired just as easily with a sundress as with jeans, the style will prove a versatile addition to your wardrobe. Look for modern updates like edgy hardware or studded detailing. Keeping them in a neutral tone will prevent them from appearing over-the-top, and you’ll also be playing into another huge trend this Spring, the nude shoe. Michael Kors, Miu Miu and Chanel all paired their Spring designs with clogs, and hey, if it’s good enough for Karl, I’m onboard.

Yay! I actually really like that clogs are back and in a more fashionable way. I love your choices here, the 1st ones and he Banana ones are my favs!
Love the look! Anything new or different is fun. I think the chunkiness would really balance out all the big bags of the season too! Best in neutral tones. Pair them with a boyfriend jean?
