Vintage Icy - Suits and thongs really irritate me

Originally published 3rd March 2007

Suits and thongs really irritate me @ Individual ChicI just don't get it. Women, wearing lovely skirt suits, who choose to finish off their look by throwing on a pair of the cheapest, tackiest thongs they can find (read flip-flops for non-Australians). And these are not the nice thongs, in leather or with shiny colours; these are the terrible plastic ones that look like they are made from car tyres.

But what's wrong with a pair of ballet flats, or strappy sandals, or anything?

It's just so inappropriate. I understand the desire not to wear high heels to work; I have the same impulse myself. I just leave the heels in a box under the desk and shuffle around the office in them to avoid crippling myself for life. But what's wrong with a pair of ballet flats, or strappy sandals, or anything? Even sneakers would be better, I mean really...

Heya again Mimi! It just looks so unfinished! I'm wearing a pair of $15 ballet flats today and they look soooo much better than a pair of nasty thongs.
