Thanks to Karl Lagerfield, I can barely turn my head in the shoe department without seeing tons and tons of clogs that were inspired by his Spring 2010 line for Chanel. I love how he paired girly romantic frocks and classic Chanel tweed with the unexpected chunky, tall wooden platforms.
The pair of clogs in this photo retail for a whopping $1795.
And this leather brass studded pair retails for $995 and was shown on the runway in natural leather (off white) and black (above).
So of course, the fashion collector in me totally wants a pair of the real deal Chanel clogs but I walked into the LF Store on Union Street the other day and they are carrying this fabulous knock off by Jeffrey Campbell.
Naturally, I could not resist so I picked them up in this tan color. (Please note: tan runs a size small I usually wear a 7 and got them in an 8) They come in black, tan, and natural and are literally flying off the shelves (sold out at Nordstrom, pre-order online, sold out at Shop Bop - you get the idea). See what you did Mr. Lagerfield?
The little strap is convertible. I wore them with tights the other day (black tights and a black dress) - doesn't look as weird as it sounds.
I was seriously concerned that I wouldn't really rock them around town - but SF got a full week of sunshine earlier this month (70 degrees everyday) and I literally wore them 4 days in a row. I paired them with all the flowy, romantic frocks in my closet. I love them so much that I'm now contemplating the black pair, maybe next pay check.
