Hello Beautiful. You remind me of sunnier days ahead and make me smile just a little brighter.

I have gone through so many pairs of you throughout my life. My brother tore up his basketball shoes from excessive wear every season, and that is my story with flip-flops.

You are my favorite type of shoe. You are so versatile. I have worn flip-flops while in the house, taking a walk throughout the city, walking on the beach, and so many other places. So many adventures have been had with you on my feet.

Because flip-flops are versatile, there are no two pairs that look the same. I have gotten some with heels, some with glitter, and plenty of the cheap pairs from Walmart. The best part of having a cheap pair is that they're so inexpensive to replace when they wear out. Because y'all will wear out, especially if they are worn like I wear them.

There is such a comfort in wearing flip-flops that have been worn thin. They've been broken in obviously, and a lot of times they are just so comfortable. I actually have a pair right now that are wearing thin, but I still enjoy wearing them. They have been my good-old faithful for so long. I don't wear them out a lot because of the lack of support, but they still have a time and place for use. It is just a different use now.

There are some things I wouldn't wear you while participating in. Mowing grass, hiking, and running are a few activities that do not allow for ample flip-flop use. Y'all are great, but not the best choice for everything. A lot of great potential still exists though.

Throughout my 8 years of marching band, I have experienced a lot of various tan lines. Sock tan lines, shorts tan lines, shirt tan lines, you name it. Even though I wasn't allowed to wear flip-flops while at practice, I still managed to get tan lines from my flip flops while parking cars at the county fair for the band. So, in a way, I can still add flip-flops to my list of band tan lines. Flip-flop tan lines are probably my favorite. I can't help but smile at the memories accompanied by them.

Wearing flip-flops also is a reason to keep my toes painted. My feet always look better with a little bit of polish. I personally don't think anyone's feet is that pretty, but polish definitely helps. Polish reminds me a lot of summer as well, which relates to sunnier days. I attempt to stay on top of it, but with many failures in it. It is an attempt though.

Overall, I dearly love my flip-flops. They are such a comfortable, slip-on shoe that have so many different roles and uses. I have actually more or less enjoyed my flip flop tan lines and the fact that it's a reason to keep my toes painted.

Stay gorgeous my friend.
