Let me preface this with the fact that I am picky in the extreme in my sandal selections. I am shorter than short accentuated with short legs. NOTHING that wraps around, sits next to, or gets in the general area of my ankle is allowed, which pretty much knocks out 3/4 of the cute sandal trends out there now. I also have a weird issue with thinking my feet look fat. I swear I was one of the first to have the Tory Burch Thora flip flop (you know, the ones everyone has) in white no less, the perfect summer color. I wore them around the house for days trying to convince myself that my feet looked great in them. I called in second, third, and fourth opinions but they were all the same my foot looked decidedly chunky. When I returned them the sales lady asked me if I was sure, I could see her going through her mental rolodex of clients who were waiting for this shoe in my coveted size eight. With a huge sigh of regret, I told her I was sure.
So you can see this search is difficult for me and I have exhausted my resources in Little Rock. Good thing I'm heading to Dallas this week. I'll have to squeeze in a visit to the mall where hopefully the stars will align and I will find my perfect grown up flip flop.
Here is what I have found in my online pre-shopping so far that might be acceptable. Any suggestions of grown up flip flops/sandals for short girls would be very welcome
I love these, but they are not very far off from basic flip flop land. I mean I guess I could hot glue some jewels onto my Haviannas if I really wanted to.
This is more along the lines of what I need, but I'm not paying $98 for some skinny leather covered in spangles. Thanks anyways J Crew
And last but not least, my favs. These are Dillard's brand, Gianni Bini and every time we go on store visits I find myself wandering over to the shoe dept to check them out. They break my rule of being near the ankles though so they are must try on. I hope they look wonderful!
