I got my first ever pair of flip flops today.

Black Havaianas on sale at Aritzia.

Ow.

I've always wanted to get a pair because they look so nice on other people. You can wear it with jeans, with skirts, with shorts, with dresses...everything. However, I'd try them on in the store and I think, hmm, this kind of hurts, so I put them back.

I recently lost my two favourite pairs of summer shoes in the span of a week (my brown sandals and white rounded toe flats). I wore these two pairs of shoes basically every Spring/Summer/Fall day for two years, so it was time they fell apart. Now I need new pairs of perfect summer sandals and shoes that will go with everything. Unfortunately, but of course, finding shoes that meet such ideals is very hard to find. I know the search will likely take a while, and being the super patient shopper that I am, I know there's a chance the search may extend into Summer 2007 before I find a pair that I love. So, I decided to just buy a pair of flip flops while I search my next pair of favourite summer shoes.

Ow.

The only reason I continue to wear them is because I'm going by Wendy's claim that "the pain goes away once you get used to them."

In the mean time...omg, they hurt.
