Shoesday the 19th of June 2012!

Summertime for a lot of people mean flipflops.  All those pretty flipflops -- so cheap and colorful -- so many designs -- so plentiful -- so easy to slip on and go.  But this girl can't wear them!  I know; it's tragic!  But they chafe the tops of my feet.   (It must be my queenly instep!)


So, here's what I wear instead:

Bandals!

 .
They're comfy, thick soled slip-ons with changeable bands.  How clever is that!  


And what made this even better was the price.  I found these recently at a little local shop; they were outside on a table of miscellaneous discounted items.  But you could choose any other discounted item on the table and the reduced price of all the items went down even further:  2 items = 20%; 3 items = 30%; 4 items = 40%; all the way up to 5 items = 50%.  


Now, I was never good at math in school; but take me shopping, and I can calculate a discount in seconds flat!  I purchased 5 items for $25.50 .... less than the original reduced $31 price of the Bandals!  AND I made my feet happy!


I got the "Bandals" you see above (which come with one set of bands) plus 3 more pairs of changeable bands!  

• What's that you say?

• That's only 4 items?

• What was Item #5?

This was Item #5.

A girl's gotta have a pretty glass for her summer "apres mowing" beverage when she's lounging in the deck chair and wearing her new "Bandals"!

And the sentiment on the front happens to be correct -- I am a beer snob!  My girls have called me that many time.  

But I like to think of it as having higher standards than some people.  Because what the flip side says is so true.
  




Drink good beer, my friends .....


And wear comfy footwear!
