Spring Fling - Sandal weather is nigh upon us...

1. Do you wear any footwear that exposes your feet?: My toes love to be free! I have a hard time finding shoes that fit, so finding sandals that fit is a little easier because you only have to fit part of your foot instead of the whole thing. Plus, my feet just breathe easier when they're out in the air.
2. Do you prefer flip-flops or slides?: I'm a flip flop girl, but I enjoy slides too.
3. Have you worn sandals yet this year? Is there a special time when you traditionally break them out?: I wore flip flops to the scrapbooking retreat I went to in early March and loved it. I've also worn a pair of slides a couple times this week now that the weather is nicer (I can say this only because I waited almost a week to answer these darned questions).
4. What are your feelings on the increasing popularity of flip flops and their appearance at the White House last summer?: Personally, I don't mind seeing flip flops everywhere. But then again, I believe in dressing for comfort and have never placed much stock in what the fashion rules. I actualy wore thong sandals to my wedding -- patent red with kitten heels -- and loved it. I think the problem here is the perception that formal flip flop wearers don't respect the people around them enough to wear something nicer. They do think flip flops are nice.
5. What kind of shoes are you?: I'm comfortable loafers, duh. I guess I'm not carefree enough to be flip flops. Perhaps they need to add Birkenstocks to the list...
