I'm a beach baby and we won't take our flipflops off until our toes are frozen. Hell, I even wear mine in the snow sometimes if I'm not going too far. Everyone at GMU used to look at me like I was nuts when I'd take a smoke break with flipflops on in December (I have quit smoking, though so my piggies don't get exposed to the elements that much anymore
). Never has bothered me much. My feet refuse to be stuffed into closed-toe shoes, plain and simple. If you look under my wedding gown, I will be wearing flipflops
My most recent addition to my sandal collection:
These in blue/white. So comfortable!!!
I got another pair of Mudd sandals on sale at JCPenney the day I bought those. They're white strappy thongs with khaki weave-type accents. Really hard to picture, but totally cute. I also bought two pair of Westies and Nine & Co. kitten heel sandals at the Navy Exchange for $40 total. One pair is denim with a khaki "bow" and the others are blue/green/white strappy woven design. Really cute and really comfortable.
