Step one...

It's been some time since I last posted anything on this blog. I must admit, I've been indulging in the beautiful weather whenever time permits. Sure, certain things in life aren't getting the attention they require, but who knows when the sun will stop shinning and the rain comes rolling in.

With the summer upon us and the amazing weather we've recently encountered, I'm trying to spend what little time I can confined to my basement apartment. If not for the simple reason that I don't know what the weather is like outside, I want to escape the darkness and live. This being the true downside to any basement apartment, I'm making it work until better things come my way. So, recently while doing some reading - following one of the many different RSS feeds in my list of fashion blogging, I came upon the never ending argument "should men be wearing flip-flops". The article went on to say how men shouldn't be wearing flip-flops in public (especially cities) because no one wants to look at feet, especially ones that aren't maintained.

Having imperfect feet myself, and being completely self-conscience of them, I can relate to not wanting to see men's imperfect feet. But that's where that thought ends. I hate being limited to anything that keeps my feet in socks and having to tie laces or constraints of any sort when the sun is shining bright. I want the freedom of slipping my feet into a pair of shoes, without wear socks and enjoying the ease of simplicity. I also want choices. Women seem to have umpteen options for footwear; men's choices are so limited. So, I'm taking a stand (in my flip-flops)!

There ARE options.
1. Men - take care of your feet. It's not difficult. Seriously, clean them every once and awhile.
2. Pick a flip-flop that doesn't look like it came from the dollar store. There are so many different styles, get a little creative.
3. Leave the 'less stylish' flip-flops for the beach.

So hopefully you don't mind but with the sun shining, I'll definitely be donning my flip-flops! And if it bothers you in any way, here's a warning - don't look at my feet.

Have a great summer!
