I'll be honest—as a complete introvert, any time a stranger comes up to me on the street, it makes me a little nervous. (What do they want? Should I have put my headphones on before I got out of the car?) So imagine my happiness when a woman who approached me on my way to Pilates offered up a simple, "I love those clogs! Where did you get them?!" Um, yeah. *Huge* sigh of relief. We kept talking for another block or so about how she had been searching for a comfortable pair that weren't the same Birkenstocks everyone else seems to have, and I was happy to share with her that they were actually made by one of my (and Jennifer Garner's) favorite shoe brands, SeaVees—a California company based in Santa Barbara.
