More Jewel Won't Hide the Ugly

I can kind of see how this happened. You want to wear a flip flop. They are comfortable. They are so easy to slip on. Its hot. You want to show off (or get) a pedicure, BUT you want to step it up a notch from the plain, flat, generic flip flop. So you add a little wedge. Lengthens the leg. Makes you look 5 lbs lighter. And then, (why not?) bejewel that bad boy. When we're talking bling (despise that word) the more the better, right? WRONG.

These are just wrong. Women of Austin, please stop. If you have these in your wardrobe, I want to help you. I really do. Call me.



Or peruse these alternatives. The Mexiflop
Easy to put on. Bright colors attract attention to your toes. Cute.

The STUD  A subtle and appropriate (imho) amount of pizazz (or if you insist "bling"). You're welcome.

The PediReady More casual for poolside or pedis. You can admire the pattern on the bottom as you flip flop away.

SSSSsasssy Get it. Like a snake? These little cuties come in a host of colors, are unique and cute.

 I apologize. I searched far and wide for wedged or heeled flip flops that didn't look like Tamra from RHOC, to no avail. I get it, I'm 5'3". There are some cute height-enhancing sandals out there (for another post), but not flip flops. Send me pics to show me I'm wrong and I'll recant away. So take your bejewel monstrosities to Goodwill. Strike that. Throw them away. You shouldn't do that to anyone. Get online or out there and buy something that won't hurt my eyes. Thank you.
