If they match an outfit they don't .

Because they are comfortable, because I like how they look (if that wasn't the case I would never wear them no matter how comfortable they are) and because they don't take much space in my shoe cupboards. And they are not heavy if I am taking them to Trinidad, so that's perfect too. And they are healthy for the feet too. And most important: because I can find cheap ones in all colours and designs. It's pretty much impossible to find other shoes that match outfits so nicely. Of course you can find matching shoes to outfits, but I have loads of outfits to which I have the perfectly matching flip flops but could never find shoes that would match them so perfect.

Yeah!

Like today, I have on a pair of White cuffed shorts, my Lotusflow3r shirt... Shut up I like to wear it which is black, so I wore my black foot flops and a pair of big white hoop earrings... CUTE!

They are just comfortable! But I do draw the line at Crocs Those are U.G.L.Y.!

I hope Charlotte doesn't read this .I only wear crocs in the house and garden in Trinidad because they are perfect for that. And I am sure you look really cute today, despite the T-shirt .

You're trying to convince the person with over 300 pairs of shoes... My shoes ALWAYS match my outfits.

I am sure they do . But I for example never saw a pair of shoes in the exact same orange/white flower design that a summer bag I have has. But I saw matching flip flops both here and in Trinidad and bought the ones in Trinidad. Or I have a beautiful silver/black striped watch and the perfectly matching silver/black striped flip flops which look more like sandals than flip flops as they have more than one string. Or I have a brown bag with white and khaki flowers and the flip fliops in the exact same brown with white flowers. I never wore any of this combinations though yet . I could go on and on.....And as I mentioned sandals: I don't like them and refuse to wear them . Not even for David I agreed to do that, they look ugly on me .

Okay STOP!

I log off to do my job, and find out that people are supporting the wearing of flip-flops?!

(IMO, flip-flops look like you just stopped getting dressed, and that flapping sound drives me nuts!)

John, Tina, Martina... you know I love all of you, but WHY?!

Genesia, what did you choose?

Who said flip flops are about "dressing"?

Flip flops are about hanging around the home, going to the beach or pool or running some errands in shorts and a t-shirt.

I'm not gonna sit at my easel getting covered in paint, hang at home, or go to the beach in a pair of shoes .

But see... I work with people who just wear them and think they're "casually stylin'". I look at them like: "Uh, you forgot to put on shoes before you left the house."

My damn Supervisor wears them with a business suit.

Lifeguard is the one and only job where flip flops is acceptable footwear.

If you wear flip flops to work you should be written up.

I hate slippers. I have them but my feet will sweat almost immediately in them.

I do go barefoot at home a lot, but I cannot do yardwork or run to the store barefoot.

And you know that you and I will never see eye to eye when it comes to shoes, Miss-thinks-2-inches-is-a-high-heel.

At our last staff meeting, I couldn't concentrate because I couldn't figure out how platform flip-flops with flowers on them were professional with a suit.

Well that combination doesn't sound cool. And I am not a fan of platform flip flops.

My cousin (the one who stalks me on here) wears flip flops exclusively as soon as it's warm enough to.

At least her pedi is always on point. Nothing worse than some jankity ass flip flops on some crusty, dusty feet.

Funny we're having this discussion. I just went into the studio, looked down and:

Do you know how pissed i'd be if those were my sneakers or shoes instead of my $3 flip flops???

One flip-flop pet peeve: When someone has worn them down to nothing, and either the heels or big toes are practically dragging on the ground. WHAT.THE. HELL?!
