Here we go, it's a rant! Summer is coming, the weather is getting warmer and people are pulling out the sandals.
Personally I love sandals. If I could get away with it I would wear them all year round (well, if I didn't love my boots so much.). I am smart though. When I wear sandals, I wear sandals!
I know you are asking "what in the world are you talking about?"
Oh yeah, that is what I am talking about. Tacky, ugly, and stupid.
You wear sandals so your feet can breathe!
You wear socks to keep your feet warm!
If it is to cold to wear sandals, don't wear sandals...duh!
Yes, I warned you this was a rant.
I can't stand it to be honest. I hate seeing people walking around on a cold day wearing socks with their sandals. The whole point of sandals was to keep your feet cool when it was to hot to wear tennis shoes or boots. I just don't understand the point of wearing socks with sandals. Is it laziness? Are people just to lazy to bend down and put shoes on or something?
That would be what is wrong with our society today. Though, you could sit down, which you probably did to put on socks, and put on your shoes.
Now, I understand if you are at home and realize that you left something in your car. It's cold outside, you have your socks on but you just don't feel like putting your shoes back on just to run out to the car. Sure, throw those sandals on and run outside, you are just coming back in the house.
Even worse is when you wear flip flops with socks. You could at least buy toe socks (which are adorable...just not with flip flops) or those weird Japanese socks that separate the toes...
Still tacky to me, but the Japanese do it all the time.
Another issue that irritates me, bedroom shoes. Yeah, I wear bedroom shoes in the winter, my feet usually stay cold, but, I wear them in my house! Not to go shopping in or out to eat.
The other day I was with a good friend of mine and we were waiting for her mother-in-law to get out of the tanning bed. We were sitting in her car with her two kids just chatting when this woman comes out of the restaurant.
First off, the woman looked like she had just rolled out of bed and put on yesterday's dirty clothes (which were probably dirty from the day before as well). Second, she had just come out of a restaurant, a very public place where most people at least look decent to go sit down and eat. No! Not this woman she had on some ratty bedroom shoes. So, maybe she did just roll out of bed...It's disturbing really.
Maybe the world just got lazy and I missed the memo?
P.S. Please put on some shoes if you are going to wear sandals...or take off the socks! And leave the bedroom shoes...in the bedroom!
