What else could possibly be formal, and still comfortable? Think about it. But here is my question. Above I see a clog, or whatever you want to call that shoe. At least that is the photo above while I am visiting here. I have always wanted a pair of clogs that are painted, or dyed, or styled or whatever ... like a Hawaiian Shirt. Anyone know where I can get them? Black tie to me means putting on a Hawaiian Shirt. What else could possibly be formal, and still comfortable? Think about it.
