Sometimes, Always, Never - Sandals

Summer Summer Summer. With the warm weather, toes have been making their appearance. And I couldn't be happier about it, as long as people respect the rules. Here they are.

SOMETIMES

Old Navy $0.99 flip flops are only ok if you are in a swimsuit. Basically heading to, from and around a beach, pool or lake. Or in a gross public shower. No other exceptions. We don't want to see these in the workplace or at the mall. Grow up and put on real shoes.

Ankle-strap sandals. Only if you don't have "cankles." Trust me. These are beautiful but they will make your cankles look like sausages.

ALWAYS

Anything other than the "Sometimes" or "Never"s with a nice pedicure. You don't even have to pay for one. As long as you are clean and patient, you can give yourself a killer pedicure.

The slingback wedge. When in doubt, put on a slingback wedge. They are my favorite. Leg-elongating, comfortable and effortlessly chic. Get a pair in a fun color and throw them on with anything. I CANNOT WAIT TO BUY SOME TOMS WEDGES.

NEVER

Are you Bear Grylls? No? Ok then. These should never be worn around humans.

This too.
