I like flip flops.  As a shoe.  In fact, I’ve been wearing them all Summer long!  Why not?  They’re Summery!  Airy!  Easy to put on, easy to take off and my favorite – they are the cheapest footwear you can get.

But.

Flip Flop Earrings?

Flip Flop Necklace?  (This one is Jade.  ooooooooohhhh.).

It boggles my mind.  Why would you want to wear a shoe on your ear?  Around your neck?  All over your sleepwear?

I guess even more depressing is wearing these on Christmas Eve.

Does the image of this Summery Sandal just bring you back to the fun beach times you and your friends had sippin’ frozen cocktails?  Does it just transport you to a better life?  I guess it’s supposed to remind you of….Summer?  I guess?  Bad pedicures and dry dirty heels?  Tripping on stairs and losing your shoe in the hot melted street tar? 

They get really dirty too.

 

Is this the image you’re trying to conjure up?

Listen, for the most part, they are cheap, crappy, throw away foot vehicles.  Sure, you can spend upwards of $40 on these dorky little accessories, but that’s your problem.  I think to stick one on your earlobe is just one of the strangest things you can do….or decorate your niece’s birthday gift with them…..  Maybe I’m missing something.

Get kitty studs, an orb, tell the world that you’re a Yankees fan, I don’t care.  But what – please – WHAT are you saying by hanging  this “$2.99 at the Old Navy staple” around your neck?  In Jade.

(oooh, but lookie here, Old Navy’s having a sale.  The ugly dark green one ain’t even a buck.)
