One day over the Summer, as I was running errands around The Fillmore for my boss, I saw this stylish woman dressed all in black. She wore a black crew sweater with a black mid-length skirt, which looked great with her black footless tights. She wore her raven hair sleek and short and the only color she dare expose were her blood red lips. But what really caught my eye were her black patent Professional Dansko Clogs
. From that moment, I began dreaming of black patent clogs, and the cordovan cabrio Professional Clogs in my closet now seemed so dull and boring and ever so passé.
Imagine my excitement when I received a box from Dansko last week. They sent me these black patent Professional Clogs as a thank you gift for using Midori and Marcelle as part of my blog mastheads. Thanks a million for this unexpected gift. Perhaps The Secret does work, after all! =)
These are my first non-Sanita manufactured stapled clogs and I must say that these are my best Danskos ever. They're super comfortable and so perfect. My feet feel soooooooo good in them -- just comfy snug as a bug, so much so that I felt compelled to buy another pair in claret at Nordstrom yesterday.
Let me tell you something about the patent line of stapled clogs: they're seasonal and are only available for sale in the Fall. But, as I've been told by a friend who works at Nordstrom, Dansko has skipped seasons before. For instance, they weren't available last year. So, get these while you can -- especially the ones in claret. I dare you to buy the clogs in claret online -- they're unavailable. As of tonight, Zappos has the patent clog available only in black, in only a few sizes, at that. The Professional Clog in claret is even more elusive. Nordstrom.com sells them only in black, as well. Go to a brick and mortar Nordstrom -- they sell them there!
Thanks, Dansko! I love love love them.
