I can’t be sure, but I suspect it was my southern upbringing that completely ruined me for shoes. I’d rather not wear them. Yes, that’s right. I still don’t want to wear them, Mom. I understand that I’m a grown-up, that I’m a responsible mother of 3, but I’d prefer to be barefoot any day of the week. Since that’s not entirely socially acceptable, my next choice is sandals, my casual fave being flip-flops, of course.
Since the season of open toes is finally upon us, I thought I’d share some of my faves.
El numero uno, the #1 best flip-flop EVA, the one I that I absolutely love–and the one that carries an absolutely ridiculous pricetag–is the timeless Jack Roger. I have eked years of wear out of a black monogrammed pair like the one above, and this snazzy pink pair. I will almost always accept your summer party invitation if I can come barefoot or in my Jack Rogers.
Other days, when I’m heading for the pool or beach, I like something more casual. But fun. Always fun. It’s summertime, so forget about function.
How about these cuties, from LL Bean for only $19.95?
I defy anyone to tell me that pink flip flops with green lobsters don’t rock. La-la-la, I can’t hear you. I loooove these.
Or check out these starfish sweeties from J. Crew for a sweet $26.50.
And we can’t forget our faithful friend Target, who comes through for us with the most reasonably priced flip flops in the world. At $9.99, they’re practically FREE!
So there you have it. A few fun choices with about a million more I’d post if I had time. Here’s a hint: pink, green, blue, red, whales, lobsters, plaids and monograms: I’ll take a pair, thanks.
But I’d still rather be barefoot.
Love this topic! As you know, I am a big fan of JRO’s myself!
