Flip Flop Atrocities

I know, I know... I've talked about footwear already, and it wasn't that long ago! But honestly, this needs to be addressed.

What is UP with platform flip flops?! Who came up with these ugly things? I am speaking specifically of the flip flops made of the cheap, foam-rubber material that look like someone cut them out of a bigger piece of foam-rubber (crap) material with a cookie cutter.  I especially hate it when they are of lighter colors, and they are either: (a) dirty; or (b) not anywhere close to their original color, as you can tell by the thong part of the flip flop.

I was hoping that these would disappear when I saw them on a rather unpleasant-looking coworker with very questionable fashion (non)'sense', but the damn things just never go away... 

Are you someone who wears platform flip flops? If so, do any of the following apply to you?

• Is it that they are 'comfortable', but give you the height you desire from heels?
  
• Do you live in an area where quality retail products are not available, and so you feel forced to buy such atrocities?
  
• Or do you think they are fashionable, and you also think I should lay off?? (If this is the case, you can just stop reading the blog, for goodness sake! Oh, and I feel sorry for you...)

If you wear them because you feel 'regular' heels aren't comfortable, please go to a higher end store than Payless (and lots of shoes on are on clearance right now!) and get a great pair of shoes (black works for almost everything), and take the time to BREAK THEM IN! I can't tell you of all the women that buy a great pair of shoes and wear them out an hour later... and complain that their feet hurt the whole night! 

Oh, and don't EVEN get me started on this ridiculousness!! (is it a flip flop? Is it a shoe? Is it UGLY??!)

Thanks for your time, and have a great day!

For Our Sake... Don't Do This!!

Hey all...

Sorry it's been a while since my last post! Hope you have been well, and have been taking note of some of the social/fashion/general minor atrocities for your own enjoyment!

As we go into the holiday weekend, I know we often throw caution to the wind as it is considered summer's 'Last Hurrah'... but DON'T decide that it's okay to wear any of the following, regardless of the occasion! 

This is really never necessary... though I am glad she is not falling out of it!

Or this: 

What exactly are these, anyways? Are they trendy and fashionable? Or are they overalls for emos? I don't see the appeal, and I think overalls are the single most unflattering item of clothing any person can wear!

This is also terrible (and if you are a friend, I am ashamed)... 

based on the concept of...

If it is warm enough to wear a swimsuit, sundress, or shorts, there is no need for ugly, furry BOOTS! 

(Uggs are hideous, but acceptable when it's cold out... I guess)

Have a safe and happy holiday weekend, everyone!
