I'D RATHER BE CLOGGING THAN BLOGGING

The title says it all, friends. I would rather slip my feet into a supple pair of paisely patchwork clogs than open up my Blogger dashboard and hit "new post." I guess both are pretty therapeutic, which is why I'm wiggling my toes in the very pair of slip-ons I'm sporting in the following photos AS I type this. Does anyone else feel overwhelmingly meta right now? No one knows what I'm talking about? Less Philosophy 101, more wooden platforms!!!!!!!!!!!

Clogs - CLOG OUTLET Sanita clogs, http://tinyurl.com/3fz355m

Realistically, I could talk for twenty minutes about these clogs. I originally made them my formspring background because I feel like they define so much of my "brand." They're made by a company called Sanita -- which identifies as makers of "the original Danish clog since 1907" -- and are available on a site called Clog Outlet. Needless to say, the fact that an entire online WAREHOUSE dedicated to CLOGS makes me want to quietly cry tears of the purest ecstasy. When I'm not wearing these precious yellow European wonders, I'll be using them as furniture within my bedroom. I think they'd make great vases, and if it were the late 1990s, good cell phone carriers. The point is, these slip-ons are daisy print perfect.

STAY REAL, SQUARES

The title and t-shirt say it all: stay real. I guess it's the same as telling someone to "be themselves", kinda like what Gordo wrote in Lizzie McGuire's yearbook on the last day of 8th grade. Makes me wonder what Miranda would have worn with this t-shirt. Probably some neon orange fingerless sleeves from Claire's and crimped hair. Say what you want... Miranda's real. Always keepin' it infinite.

Miranda aside, I went with a 1950s slam-poetry-enthusiast theme. If you haven't noticed, there's not much accessorization goin' on outside of my dotted collar. Guess that's because I don't want to detract too much attention from the central idea of keepin' it coolio (jk). U give me the beat and I'll give u the goods.

JEWELS ET JIM

I may not be a femme fetale, reminiscent of French goddess Anna Karina, but I'm always up for putting a feminine twist on an otherwise masculine look. I layered a plain button-down underneath a matching red striped tee and tied it all together with a jeweled collar clip. Nope, Jim isn't present in these pictures, but my beatnik wayfarers and doc marten brogues sure are.

VERMONT

It's finally autumn and you live in a three-story Victorian home in the historic district of a town in Vermont. It's 48 degrees outside, so you have the radiators on at full blast. Your closet is packed with knits, robes, turtlenecks, camel trenchcoats, and seasonal sweaters. You're wearing acorn slippers and clutching a piping hot cup of cocoa as you mosey through the rustically decorated rooms of your wooden mansion. "Halloween," you say, as you peer through a window in your foyer and notice jack o'lanterns in the yard of a neighbor. The entire town anxiously awaits the fall festivities.

You spend every day of October with your hands in your pockets, crossing streets and passing through piles of leaves. You bake bread and visit the local library as often as possible. Eventually you hop in your station wagon with wood side paneling and take a day trip to Deerfield, Massachusetts. It's cold and gusty, so you pull your velvet Rothschild coat tightly around your waist. Life is absolutely wonderful.

HAPPY OVERALL

Hey everyone, I'm Farm Girl. I live the good life, sleepin' in the barn with all my cute little animals. I love the smell of hay and milking cows is listed in my interests on Facebook. I'm twelve years old, but learning how to hoe the earth has added years old experience to my life. I'm happy, overall. Because I'm wearing overalls. Doesn't get better than denim to do the dirty work. Although I do wear this gaudy string of costume pearls around my neck everyday. Some say it's a dumb idea, but I think it's really important to look glamorous while yankin' weeds.

From the chest upward, you'd think I'm just a child going to a birthday party! But really I'm past all that baby stuff. I'd rather herd sheep any day.
