I have worn out my favorite pair of flip flops; a pair that I fell in love with after a chance meeting in Columbia, SC , last spring.
We had decided to spend the night after watching Saturday's game, and upon waking up decided on a spontaneous trip to the zoo, but I only had "tall shoes" in tow. Having learned my lesson about wearing proper shoes the hard way, once upon an MCI Heritage walk, I headed to the nearest WalMart, where I realized that they have no sympathy for church skipping zoo patrons before noon(SC has a blue law) We followed a tip to Target in the next county, where they obviously favor Seventh Day Adventist and allow stores to sell everything from bait to booze (ok, maybe not booze--I may be exaggerating there) but if you are in need of shoes on Sunday morning, try Target in the non blue law county near the zoo... I'd look it up, but this entry is about the shoes.
The black flip flops I bought for our zoo trip quickly became my default pair... with sequins over the straps, they are dressed up enough to go with anything, but true to flip flop casual.
Now they are worn around the edges and I am feeling funny things around the straps; it has become clear that soon I will have to toss them whether I am happy about it or not.
Our target is yet to be built and the other is on the FAR SIDE of town, so I was limited to the slim pickings of our small walmart ( one of the few Non-Supercenters in existence, I believe :)
They had noting similar to what I currently prefer in flip flop wear, only too dressy or too casual, so I decided to improvise.
