College Fashion Don’t: Flip Flops in March
Maybe this will come as a newsflash to some people, given the unseasonably warm weather we’ve been having in New England lately, but…. IT’S STILL MARCH!
Now, I’m just as happy with the 55 degree temperatures as the next girl! It’s amazing to be able to go outside without wearing a billion layers of clothing and sacrificing cuteness for practicality in my footwear. But some people just cross the line.
Thats right, I’m talking to you, girls at my school who wore flip flops today! I’m sorry if I’m offending some of you but it needs to be said. Repeat with me here. If there is still SNOW on the ground, you don’t wear your flip flops outside. Period.
I don’t care how warm you think it is out. I don’t care how badly you want to trudge through a half-melted snow drift in your new flip flops. You do not look good. Not even if you wear the most adorable flip flops ever, like the Lacoste alligator thongs shown above. Not even then.
Resist the urge. Flip flops + snow = never, ever, ever cute.

So I just discovered your blog through Coutorture and now I’m reading the old posts. The exact same thing is happening here in Maryland. Girls broke out their satin Ballet flats and flip flops while there was still snow on the gorund and it was melting fast and furiously.

A similar problem is occurring on the west coast. People seem to think that because we live in sunny California, that they can wear their Rainbows year round! And when is the expiration date on these particular flip-flops? Well..when a ginormous hole forms through the sandal! And don’t let me get started on the toenail situation of these folk….it was 65 degrees today and I still wore close-toed flats. I guess I’m the only flip-flop with beach present person at my school :/

Personally i LOVE women who disobey rules like these and bust out their flip flops Year Round! They’re the best – hilarious posting though. Keep up the great job.

Maybe one day the fashion police will come to realize that some people do things for themselves and could care less what other individuals think about them.
It is not a matter of what looks good — it is a matter of what feels good individually.
Besides that I would like to think that people in general have more important things to do with their time instead of judge and critique what people wear of all things.
