Me, my mom and little sis all rocking Salt Water's....Me wearing my mom's pair 25 years later.
In my mind, Salt Water Sandals are the epitome of childhood summers. They bring back memories of popsicles and wading pools, among other things*.
Last month, I was about to buy an adult sized pair for myself but on a whim asked my mom if she still had hers and she did! I put them on and have been wearing them practically every day since. My favorite part is looking down and for a split second thinking I'm a kid looking at my mom's feet.
Apart from being classic and nostalgic, they are super durable (please note that the pair I'm sporting has lasted since the mid 80's!) you can wear them in the water and they are really comfy. I can, and have, walked miles in them.
Also, you can get them in tons of colors! I'm eying the yellow ones...
Did you have a pair?
oh my gosh. i laughed out loud! haha. love it. these are good pics of you too.
ReplyDeleteLove this memory jogger, Jen! I saw a pair of Navy blue s.w. sandals at the consignment shop down on Pacific, but wasn't sure they fit you! They were $7. Thanks for making my legs look young, Honey.
ReplyDeleteI lived in salt water sandals as a kid and have been thinking about getting a pair too -- maybe navy blue or red? Might look a little funny in the Midwest, but to heck with that :)
ReplyDeleteBring them to the Midwest! Never mind that there isn't any salt water there. Start the trend!
