  Anna, that is amazing juxtaposition with the borderline ladylike top and silk shorts and then harness and clogs.  It works so well.

• Tanya replied 9 years ago

  Great combo!  The park looks lovely with that lightning, cool background.

• Angie replied 9 years ago

  I LOVE the pants. Very fresh with the white Tee. 

• BethL replied 9 years ago

  That's one of my favorite parts of the day, Anna. So beautiful and quiet. Wonderful pics, and great outfit! I like the juxtaposition of the elements, too. I'm so happy you were able to keep the clogs - they're fab.

• Missey replied 9 years ago

  I love it!  And you got the clogs to fit...bonus!  Sporty and sexy all at once :)

• Angie replied 9 years ago

  *sobbing*

  Oh nooooo. Are you sore, Anna? 

• cheryle (Dianthus) replied 9 years ago

  Anna, are you alright?  

• jackiec replied 9 years ago

  Oh no!!! Hope you are ok. Too bad about the shorts b/c they are awesome. Hope you're not too banged up. Take care.

• AJ replied 9 years ago

  Oh no! Were you on the way to work or heading back home? I hope your knees are OK. Oh my, ripped shorts, scuffed shoes, and coffee stained white tee! Yikes! So sorry your day started that way.

• replied 9 years ago

  Oh, Anna, you look amazing. I'm so sorry you tripped. I do hope your knees are ok.

  Is there really no way the shorts could be salvaged?

• Isis replied 9 years ago

  Yikes!  Hope you heal quickly.  I do love that harness!

• Eliza replied 9 years ago

  Anna- hope you are okay. Sorry about the mishap.

• annagybe replied 9 years ago

  Thanks everyone. Unfortunately both my knees were bloodied. I went home & changed. I'll try & post pics of the shorts tonight. Maybe our expert sewers can weigh in if they are salvageable.

• Diana replied 9 years ago

  Oh no!!! I hope you are not too badly scraped up. Could the shorts maybe be patched in an intentionally distressed sort of way?

  You look great if that's any consolation.

• annagybe replied 9 years ago

  Ok the clogs might be ruined, I must have torqued my foot. The sides pulled up & away from the sole.
  Argh serious case of a Monday!

• ironkurtin replied 9 years ago

  Oh no!  You're OK though, right?

• MsMary replied 9 years ago

  Gah!!  I'm so sorry!  Your poor knees!  And your poor clothes and shoes.  It was such a great outfit, too!!

  If you bought the clogs with a credit card, see if they have any kind of purchase protection to cover this sort of thing.  I think AmEx does if I remember correctly.

• Mo replied 9 years ago

  super bummer :(  

• BethL replied 9 years ago

  Oh no. What a morning. Hope you're okay.

• abc replied 9 years ago

  Hope you are feeling better.  Let's all cross fingers for little to no damage to shorts, shoes, etc, and that your knees recover quickly.

• rae replied 9 years ago

  Oh, gosh. I am heartbroken for you, Anna. Fingers cross that you and the pretties get mended. :( It really was a fab outfit!

• Janet replied 9 years ago

  Oh no! Well, you looked fab, but I'm sorry the morning was such a disaster after such a beautiful start. Hope your knees and ankles are OK. Maybe the shorts can be hemmed to a shorter length?

• Mary Beth (formerly LBD) replied 9 years ago

  First of all... you look amazing in those photos!

  Second... the important thing is that you are all right!   

  Everything else is just stuff.   There will always be more stuff out there.   But my fingers are crossed that the shorts and shoes are salvageable!   xoxo

• Marlene replied 9 years ago

  oh dear.  I hate when the day starts out like that.  Sorry about the demise of the shorts and shoes.  :-(

• catgirl replied 9 years ago

  So sorry! Love the look and feel bad for the shorts and your knees.

  Someone at work asked my why my knees are always scabby. I chalk it up to my strenous endeavors (climbing, hiking) but the truth is I just fall all the time for no reason.

• cciele replied 9 years ago

  Oh, hope your knees and feet are OK. What a bummer of a Monday morning. :( 

• unfrumped replied 9 years ago

  You look wonderful--in the "before" photos, I presume! I'm so sorry about your scrape. I love those shorts. You continue to look so good in white and creamy colors. Blonde fabness.

• rachylou replied 9 years ago

  Ouchy! Poor knees! Poor shorts! :( But definitely a cute outfit.

• Neel replied 9 years ago

  Ack :( So sorry. I hope you feel better soon.

  Your outfit was a stunner though!

• annagybe replied 9 years ago

  Ok the more I think about it, I realize these shoes are not well balanced. They are tricky to walk in, and that's probably why I took a spill. Combination of the hard sole with the platform. I do better in my stilettos. 
  I'm taking them to Goodwill and chalk them up to an expensive to only buy shoes I try on in the store.

• Janet replied 9 years ago

  Oh ouch. I wondered if the shoes were the culprit. If it's any consolation, I bought a new pair of running shoes last year and proceeded to trip TWICE in those darn shoes -- one time during a race (caught myself and stayed on my feet) and the second time during a regular run, crossing a busy street, when I went down on all fours and put a hole in my running capris. I realized that I had never tripped during a run until I got those shoes, so they went on eBay. Can you recoup some of your cost by selling them, or is the damage too much? Or did you buy them from a retailer from whom you might be able to get a refund? To have shoes do that to you on the first wear… well, it seems like they should be returnable, but I could be wrong. 

• Eliza replied 9 years ago

  Good call on the shoes. Better they take the hit than you. Some shoes aren't meant for feet in motion.

• Debbie replied 9 years ago

  Oh Anna I hope you are doing OK. You looked great this morning but shoes you slip in are not worth it.

• Tanya replied 9 years ago

  So sorry to hear this.  Hope you are OK.  Definitely get rid of those shoes, urgh.

• Lyn D. replied 9 years ago

  Oh- what a shame! YL(d)F :(

• Karie replied 9 years ago

  Glad you're OK and hopefully those fantastic shorts can be salvaged.

• Alana in Canada replied 9 years ago

  Boy, those sure were the shoes of doom. I do hope your shorts can be salvaged--they are very unusual. I love these colours on you, sunrise was a perfect time to take the pics, too.

• Greyscale replied 9 years ago

  Oh, what a perfect outfit - no fair at all that it caused such calamity. I hope your knees are recovering well.

• K. Period. replied 9 years ago

  I'm glad you are okay--just skinned knees.  Totally bummed for your damaged shorts, though.  I've got my fingers crossed that they can be salvaged.  Maybe not at their same length or in exactly their same form, but somehow.  Maybe culottes inspired wider, looser shorts?  

  And GAH what am I thinking! You look beautiful. Great outfit!!!

  OH! Or maybe an extra seam right where the tears are? Kind of a welted one, with some substance? Or one that just mirrors the seam finishing on the bottom? 

• Aquamarine replied 9 years ago

  Glad you are OK. Well, you'll just have to buy more shoes!

• pil replied 9 years ago

  What a great pair of shorts, I'm sorry you took a tumble amd hurt your knees. Falling is frustrating, I've fallen a couple of times on our patio. At least you looked good while you were at it. I hope the shorts can be salvaged.

• Aubergine replied 9 years ago

  Ugh. That's really a shame.

  Like the outfit, though. I'm not sure who else could pull off a harness so well as part of a regular outfit.

• Thistle replied 9 years ago

  I hope you are okay!! Sounds like you. I that have twisted your ankle or foot?

  You looked fabulous, and it was a terrific outfit. Sounds like the shoes were the culprit. I wish I had more of a clue to offer. I know last December I had a pair of booties I slipped and fell in at work. Hurt my ankle pretty badly. I was terrified to wear those booties again! (I did eventually take them to the cobbler and have them resoled. Made them wearable, but still not sure I "trust" them.)

• Jaime replied 9 years ago

  What a terrible ending to a fantastic outfit! Hope the shorts can be saved and your knees are feeling better.

• Firecracker (Sharan) replied 9 years ago

  I love the outfit but am sad at what the shoes did to you. Bad shoes! Hope you are all right and that the shorts can be saved.

• viva replied 9 years ago

  So sorry about that fall! I agree that these shorts are a terrible thing to lose. Darn those shoes.

• Sara L. replied 9 years ago

  Great outfit with the harness and simple top.  Too bad about the shorts after your fall.  I hope they are salvageable because they're great shorts.  Good idea to get rid of the shoes.  It sounds like they are definitely not worth the trouble.

• UmmLila (Lisa) replied 9 years ago

  Was a great outfit, though. Here's a story I just read from another blogger with clog-wild trouble <http://www.girlofacertainage.com>
