Well, I declare...

Swedish clogs, my new fashion love. Especially paired with these ludicrous stripey over-the-knee socks.

When I was 13, I saw a pair of pink clogs in a shop window in North Berwick. They were the most amazing shoes I'd ever seen. But it was a Sunday so the shop was closed. "they would be uncomfortable" said my mum, "and you wouldn't be able to walk in them". Not much consolation.

They might not be pink, but 25 years later, I have my beloved clogs. And they are comfy and I can walk in them.
