This is to all those I’ve seen walking down the street in flip flops lately. I realize the calender may say that it is spring, but it’s March and we had a snow storm 2 days ago. WHY THE HELL ARE YOU WEARING FLIP FLOPS?! There is optimism and then there is just plan crazy. Maybe you should wait until the temperature reaches above 0 before you pull out the summer attire.

Dear OP: I’m one of those people out wearing summer clothes, not flip flops, but sandles yes. And dresses too. You know what, there have been quite a few days so far in the past month and a half that have been warm enough for me to feel comfortable wearing those items. If you don’t like it, don’t look. It’s not my fault that you feel the need to still be wearing your parkah while I feel it warm enough to wear those “summer clothes”.
Fuck I can’t wait till it’s sandal weather. I’ve unpacked my summer wardrobe alreadyyyy and can’t wait to start wearing skirts every dayyyyyy. I’ve been dying to wear my short tulip cut denim skirt since october 🙁 Spring plz come soon kthx.
Why do you care so much if their feet get cold?
i agree in part with you, country-girl, its about what one finds comfortable. that will always be a personal thing.
however…no where in the last few weeks have i found a day where it was warm enough for myself to break out the shorts and sandals. its gone above 10 like what, a few times at best. 10C is not warm by any stretch. if it were august and it was 10C we would all be complaining how god damn cold it is and be bundled up in jeans and a sweater.
so i will wait my 7 more days till im on the beach to go flip-floppy, then when i get back, likely a few more weeks after that.
I got my swim trunks, I got my flippy floppies, I’m on a boat motherfucker you can never stop me…… I love that song and I love flippy floppies!
one more month and we should be almost there, I love the spring?
Wait until there’s an afternoon flurry out of nowhere while they’re chillin with their toes out. They’ll be wearing sneakers soon enough.
Pretty Kitty, is your name Stephanie by any chance?
If they wanna lose toes, let em. What I don’t get is the douches who wear Birkenstocks with wool socks at this time of year. Fuck that looks so stupid.
Now, the birks and wool socks combo is something I have to admit I enjoy. It probably looks stupid as hell, but my god, it’s comfortable.
Dino, I also (used to) suspect PK was actually someone I know called Stephanie…wierd
Hmm, this is fishy, last name starts with an M?
Nope
an R?
Maybe they just had a pedicure. I’m an aesthetician and its recommended not to wear socks and shoes for about an hour and a half after a pedi so the polish doesn’t smudge. Lots of people who are going away are coming in for pedi’s and leaving in flip flops. They feel stupid doing it but its better than ruining a $60 pedicure.
Dino: nope, I’m not a stephanie!
snacks: yah, last pedicure I had about a month ago resulted in a cooooooooooold walk to the car.
They’re concerned about looking stupid about wearing flip flops in cold weather after spending 60 bucks for what amounts to a really good toe nail clipping. There’s something really wrong with that statement.
true story.
I can honestly say that I never have and never will spend $60 in any one single day on my toes. hell, you can buy a fuck of a lot of socks for that!
And no, they’re not all gross and gangly. They’re regular ‘ol feet that get the daily pounding just like everyone else.
$60 to get your fucking toenails done???I’ll continue to use extra coarse sandpaper on mine, thanks very much.
Omg! Wow this is funny – my friend Alden and I were having a similar conversation to this the other day: why spend fucking 60 bucks on a pedicure when you can get socks! really nice designer socks!
How many of you knocking $60 pedi’s spend more than that in a month on smokes or alcohol instead of doing something nice for yourselves? It’s a treat for most people that do it, once a year before going down south, not like you do it once a week.
