While my daughter was visiting I ended up buying two more flip flops because of two reasons: I don't have these colors and they were two for $5.00 - summer is almost here. Yesterday I decided to take a review of my flip flops and to see which one I need to say goodbye. My daughter even suggested one of them really has to go but since I don't have a replacement (navy blue), it will have to stay just one more summer. I am currently using a pink one as my house slippers. What about your collection? How many do you have? The cool part about living in sunny San Jose is that I could wear them all year round.
Background on my flip flips: Starting from back: Pink and black - a hand me down from one of my daughter's girl friend, Black and gold - from a store called Giant Tiger in Ottawa, Purple and yellow - from Forever 21 when my daughter was visiting. Red and white - from my daughter after her wedding. Clear plastic with rhinestone - bought it for my first all inclusive in Costa Rica. Nike navy blue - from my SIL. Black with rhinestone - from a store that went out of business. Turquoise - wore it at my daughter's wedding as it matches with my sun dress. White with bling - bought it from a market in Puerto Vallarta during our Carnival Cruise. Beige with beads - extra flip flops during our 7 days in Punta Cana (my daughter's destination wedding). Brown with black ribbon - bought it for our Vegas trip last August 2010. Orange - for my Vegas trip last January 2012 it was only $2.99. Brown - had to buy one at Target because my feet was hurting from wearing a high wedge sandals.
I wish the weather here were like yours, we only have a few months of wearing flip flops. Though I love them on vacations, we actually also went to a wedding in Punta Cana back in November 2010.
ReplyDeleteI use to have a lot, especially when they would go on sale at Old Navy for $2. But now as I am getting older, I want more comfortable ones, I have two really good quality ones (purple and black) and then three decent ones (black, white and gold). Mike on the other hand - has tons in our storage locker.
