Workin’ It In Clogs

I’m usually the first person to embrace new trends. I love the excitement of wearing something that’s very “of the moment.” However, when this new clog trend emerged, I was a little hesitant to rush to my nearest Saks and purchase a pair these little wooden beauties. My main concern – how on earth could I make clogs work appropriate? If you’ve been reading my blog for the last couple of weeks you’ll know that I just recently took the Bar exam. This means that within a matter of months I’ll hopefully (knock on wood) be working as an attorney. While I love this clog trend and the idea of pairing these kitschy shoes with more classic pieces, I was initially at a loss as to how I would make clogs a part of my working wardrobe. Below are two different ways I might wear clogs to work:

1. Pants: Gap $49.50

2. Clogs: Diane Von Furstenberg $299

3. Top: Amanda Uprichard $167

The pairing of clogs with cropped pants or trousers is a fabulous way to remain work appropriate but still showcase your footwear. Also, if wearing clogs has you feeling a little more inhibited, adding a printed blouse is a fabulous way to take any unwanted attention off of your footwear.

1. Dress: Tucker $315

2. Clogs: DV Dolce Vita $89

3. Blazer: Elizabeth and James $395

Wearing clogs with a work appropriate dress is the easiest way, in my mind, to bring clogs into the workplace in a tasteful and appropriate way. If you still feel like you’re walking a fine line between office chic and office faux pas, throw on a blazer – adding a blazer to the mix gives the ensemble an increased sense of professionalism.

What do you think – would you wear clogs to the workplace?
