The $50 flip flop near miss
Filed under: Accessories, Shoes
As we mentioned in an earlier post, this weekend we had a blister emergency. After a false start, Band Aids saved the day, but we still wandered into Banana Republic, like a zombie, to see if they had inexpensive backless sandals we could buy and wear out of the store.
We're shaking our heads at ourselves, even writing that.
Oh, please, admit you've done the same thing, possibly more than once. It's slightly less reprehensible when you buy the $4 red checkered material flip flops at Walgreens, but it's the same behavior. Blowing cash on an impulse buy is practically a national pass-time.
In case you've been in a coma and missed the five million "Strappy Sandal Roundup!" articles in the March issue of everything, it's toe time again.
New shoes are awesome, right? So pretty, so special, so new, and best of all, they never make your butt look big. Putting on a new pair of shoes can give you a surge of happiness -- that is until that surge of happiness turns into a blister on the back of your heel or the corner of your toes.
