Ugly Shoe of the Day: Purple thong “bandals”

Bandals.  They’re what you get when you cross a boot with a sandal, and that, my friends, is a match that should never, ever happen.

Sadly for us, though, it HAS happened, and that’s why these purple thong sandals/boots/whatevers exist. They’re $69 from Barefoot Tess, and also available in black, brown and also in a leather upper, with a zip down the front. The horror!

With my upcoming holiday now less than two weeks away, I’m finding myself drawn to flat sandals and flip-flops more than my usual high heels these days. These pewter thong sandals from Dorothy Perkins check all of the boxes as a holiday shoe for me:

  • They’re flat. I’m more than used to walking in heels, but on vacation I tend to do a lot more walking than I do in my normal life, so flats are always good.  And heels and shorts aren’t always the best look, anyway.
  •  They’re still dressy enough to be worn in the evenings with skirts and dresses with the little “jewels” on the front dressing them up nicely.
  • They’re metallic, so they’ll go with everything in my suitcase.

Oh, and they’re only £20. And hey, I’ll be near a Dorthy Perkins tomorrow, how about that? If you won’t be, but you still want to pick up a pair of these, you can buy them on the website, here.
