"Well, I broke in my purple clogs."

This is a postscript to my aforementioned post on the cyclical nature of fashion... While I was perusing my daily e-mails this morning, I came across my daily Saks fashion update informing me of the latest "rage." The subject line read, "Clogs: The Next big Thing." Really, clogs???

Think about this...
The Year: 1995
The Movie: "Clueless"
The Scene: Mel: "So, what did you do in school today?"
Cher: "Well, I broke in my purple clogs."

This movie, mind you, was relased on July 19, 1995. For me, it was the summer before 5th grade. (Wow, time flies!) It's July 2, 2010 today. That's almost 15 years to the date that clogs are making a come back!! Madness, I tell you!!

I must say, the Christian Louboutins on the left are calling my name! :)
On the other hand, the Marc Jacobs' on the right are a little too eerily similar to a pair I had in 5th grade!

The moral of the story is this: ...Watch out... it's more than likely that in 15 years that wretched trend you loathe today will re-surface!
