Ode to Clunking

So lately I have been really into mad clunky chunky platforms and wedges, even though I used to really really hate all things clunky and wedges in particular (side note: what on earth is happening to me?) Though I suppose it could just be a throwback to my excellent grade 5/6 (spice girls inspired) style, which included several pairs of stupid-high platforms. I only wish I still had them so I could show them off to the world. One pair was runners-style with about a 3" white rubber platform that i wore so much the platform actually fell off eventually, and my other faves were bright orange psychedelic floral print sandals. Actually, the sandals might still be in my friend's basement...

Anyhow, there just isn't anything quite as satisfying as clunking around the halls of your school in insanely high, chunky shoes while most other girls are wearing sweats and uggs (or even better, PJ pants!) Or clunking around anywhere else, really. You know. 

I actually gasped embarrassingly loudly when I saw the sequined Miu Miu heels in the middle. I DIE just thinking of how amazing it would be to have them on my feet, not that I would ever even dream of wearing them outside the house. But, since the price tag exceeds my grocery budget for the rest of the semester, I'm afraid I'll just have to keep dreaming. 

AND NOW: The rest of the shoes, clockwise from top left.

Chloe cuteness, Jeffery Campbell craziness, more Chloe amazing-osity, Marni marvelousity, Stella McCartney's queens of clunk, UO something-or-other, Jessica Simpson (I know, right?) absolutely INSANE insanity, even more Chloe (hey, I couldn't resist!), and Frye summer love.
