Purchased - Old Navy Flip Flops

I was out browsing around the mall yesterday and decided to go into Old Navy. I went in mainly for two reasons. One I wanted to try on a size 12 jeans and see if it fit (Almost there! They buttoned and zipped, but was just a little snug) and the other reason was to check out the new flip flop selection. They have some really colorful styles available so far this year. I bought two of the three pairs I had looked at online (they didn't have the third style I liked). These styles are $6.94 each (sorry so 2 for 5 here ladies!) and they have the jelly straps not the hard plastic found on the 2 for $5.00 pairs. Did anyone ever have the jelly shoes that was popular in the 80's? To me the jelly straps feel like those shoes did. They are really soft, and comfy, not to mention colorful. I think they had a similar flip flop available last year or maybe the year before. If you have ever bought Old Navy printed flip flops you know that the prints rub off on the bottoms of the flops. This pair is no different but your strap colors will remain the same, they wont change. I love the rainbow straps and that is the only reason I bought these. I think once the prints on the bottoms rub off that the white flip flops with the rainbow strap will be pretty and same with navy.

Ralph Lauren Polo Haul

I went to the Ralph Lauren Polo factory store yesterday and found these flip flops and just had to have them. I ended up buying two pair the same color and another pair in a different color. They had two other color choices but didn't care for them as much they was stripped not plaid and they was bright pink and bright blue. Originally my flip flops was $29.00 each and was marked down to $12.99 each and I ended up getting an additional 30% off that which made them $9.09 each, excellent deal. Ended up buying 3 pair for the original price of one. Have a factory store near you? highly recommend going and picking up a few pairs they even have 1 rubber pair if those are more your style. I tried the ones I bought on in the store and they are not only cute but comfy as well.

Flip Flop Storage and Cleaning

If you’ve found this page via Pinterest, welcome!

Have you ever wondered how to store your flip flops when they are not in use? These are some of the ways I have came up with to store mine, maybe this will help some of you out.

If you have a place for hanging like I do in my closet than maybe this will work for you. When you buy flip flops never ever throw the plastic thing away they are hooked to when you buy them. The holders work wonderful for home storage. I liked this idea so much i actually went in Old Navy to see if they would sell me flip flop holders or refer me to someone I could buy them off of...well they couldn't, so now when I buy flip flops I make sure i keep the holder they come with. I have mine arranged on the bar according to color.

For the ones I threw the holders away to before I figured this idea out I store them in baskets in my closet. You can get baskets like this almost anywhere...Target, Wal-Mart, Michaels etc..

You know when your flip flops get so dirty and nasty looking that you just go toss them in the trash because they look so bad? Well you don't have to throw them away unless you want to. I have found a way to keep mine nice and clean and useable for as long as possible.

What you need:

A nail cleaning brush about a inch wide if you can find one, I believe I found mine at either Wal-Mart or The Dollar Store

A scoop of Tide powder detergent

A bar of soap you can use any kind, I happen to use Dove

A bathtub, or anything you can fill with water like a large plastic bin.

What to do:

Fill tub or bin with an appropriate amount (as much water as needed for the amount of flip flops you want to wash) of warm water

Add a scoop of tide to the water

Submerge all flip flops to be washed in the water and let soak for about 10 minutes.

Rub your nail brush on a bar of soap to get it good and sudsy

Scrub flip flop

Rinse

Lay flip flop out to dry

Depending on how old each flip flop is, and what is on it as well as how hard you scrub in my experience each flip flop should come out looking brand new.
