Recently when I was surfing Pinterest I found the cutest flip flop refashion. I decided I wanted to make matching pairs for both my little girl and I. They turned out so cute. I am not a huge shoe person so I like to just have one pair of sandals or flip flops to wear with everything. So that being said my dilemma was choosing colors that I thought could go with pretty much any outfit. I settled on a white flip flop with grey fabric. In my opinion this was a good choice to be able to wear with almost any outfit. I was also really excited about this refashion because I have a hard time finding shoes I like for summer in the first place. I am allergic to so many things I have to be careful about shoes. Most people don't know but shoes are made up with formaldehyde resin as part of the glue that glues the shoe together. Well I am allergic to formaldehyde and it is in everything. Pretty much my enemy. I don't have as bad of a reaction in the winter because I can use my socks as a barrier but for summer it is a nightmare. So after cutting off the yucky plastic, silicone, or whatever straps they were I replaced it with fabric. (I am allergic to latex and silicone as well as many other things) I found the tutorial I used here. These were really cute. I decided not to do the flower because for one I was lazy and for two I didn't want to do that exact flower. I may eventually add one but for now I like them just the way they are. :)
Of course I had to take pictures of them on my little girl because my feet just aren't nearly as attractive. ;)
That is sooo cute good job!!
