I didn’t include flip-flops in my Shoe Challenge because, well, they’re not really much of a challenge, are they? For me, flip-flops don’t really fall into the category of shoes-you-build-outfits-around. They’re just the shoes you wear to the beach, or while you’re slobbing out at home: no challenge, and not a whole lot of fun, either.
Or so I thought.
Then I walked into a surf shop in Cocoa Beach, and discovered these little black and white flip-flops waiting to be bought. And when you see what I happened to be wearing that day, you may just understand why I couldn’t resist them:
(Quick disclaimer: I had the camera on the wrong setting that day, and didn’t realise until I’d taken these, so apologies for the blurry photos.)
Now, I have to say, I’m not usually in the habit of matching my swimsuit to my shoes, but I decided to make an exception in this case. You all know what a sucker I am for polka dots:
No, I didn’t actually surf on it, although I did have a quick go, and ended up swallowing half of the Atlantic ocean. The rest of the time, I stuck to swimming, and to my comparatively safety body board…
Out-take: here I am, discovering that the camera has been on the wrong setting the whole time, and wondering why it wasn’t responding to the remote… then it did:
“What the…?”
Perfect match! Everything! You and your style, the place, sun, and the cutest flip-flops I have ever seen!
Weren’t those shorts part of a Polyvore challenge many moons ago?
Nope!
I don’t wear flip flops (we call ’em thongs in Australia) but I could be swayed by these, because they’re so cute!
They’re so cute! The outfit is adorable, are the shorts from H&M ???
Thanks 🙂 No, the shorts were about £5 in the Primark sale last Christmas!
ou, they have the same exact shorts at H&M although the buttons might be different (they’re silverish with Anchors on them) for around $30.
Ah, mine actually lost a button shortly after these photos were taken, so I now need either new buttons or… new shorts. Will have to check out H&M 🙂
Have you seen that Vera Bradley has a new-ish line of flip flops too: I just got these black & white ones, and they’re much more fun than plain solid colors: http://www.newprospects.com/popup_image.php?pID=8421
