The Flip Flop Girl

Flip Flop Girl's Lifestyle: Of Pastels, Mix and Match, Fashion

So, I will end out this week with another look at nail polish. Okay, so we were talking a bit about pastels. Love them. They do have their place on my toes. A good time to get those pastels out, I think, is when you're in the mood for a summer dress, something very soft and gentle. It might be nice to mix and match colors and tones. Say, put a peach polish on your toes and offset that with a bold orange flip flop. Or how about a powder puff blue sitting on a dark Old Navy flip flop? Hmmm, color matches: I could easily go with a red polish on a black flip flop. Or a dark blue polish on a light blue flip flop.

Yeah, this could get interesting. What color comes up the most, would you think, on the runway? My guess is red. Maybe black. Or do the girls wear whatever? I think there's only one color that they wouldn't just happen to wear and not think about and that is White. You just don't wear that color. It wears you. I don't think I am really into White. But, then again, I am a big fan of the French Pedicure. I think that's just the right amount of White. That white on the very tips of the toes is tres chic!

Green. I just thought it. Isn't that a color up there with White that you really don't want to wear? Well, depends. It is a refreshing alternative. You know, I saw this guy walking around with green nail polish on his toes and it looked great. It really did. Every now and then, I'll see a guy with polish, sometimes the hands--more often the feet. Often black. But sometimes blue or green. And I didn't give much thought to whether the guy was gay or straight. In fact, I think a lot of straight guys are getting into the nail polish thing. Very fashionable, don't you think? Just a theory: guys, whether gay or straight, tend towards the more masculine and/or neutral colors. It just seems that pink on a guy is overkill but, if you're really up for it, go for it!
