If I could spend most of my days in flip flops I would be a very happy girl. My feet hate real shoes.
Sadly, chemistry labs and flip flops do not mix! I'd get raked over the coals for having my toes exposed but I can understand. God forbid I spill 6N HCl on my feet.
I do love some stylish and sexy pumps and boots but I do not wear them much as I am uncoordinated and there has to be a good reason to wear them, aka sex or going out or sex.
I don't spend much on any of my shoes, I buy them all at target. I love target!
