While I'm not a fan of glitter, my eyes light up when I see a pair of glittery sandals! There’s something magical about them when the sun hits the tiny diamond-like insets and the shoes sparkle in every color of the rainbow and beyond. Now they must be tasteful or fun and well made for me to break out my credit card, so I was tickled when my slides arrived since I had ordered them online, sight unseen.
I first spotted a similar pair on an Instagram ad and immediately clicked onto a website that gave me pause, as many of those that pop up on my feed do. I checked the credibility of the company selling the sandals only to discover that it (like way too many others with questionable names, so be sure to investigate before you load up a cart) had a one-star rating. My disappointment was deep, though I wasn’t sure why except to say that maybe sparkle is my new pink! You see, when I was a young girl, I loved the color and would quietly get so sad if my sister got the pink or even red anything leaving me with a blue or green whatever the item might be, including jelly beans at Easter! As I grew up, pink things were plentiful and available without competition however, my color palette had broadened and pink turned to fuchsia, orange, chartreuse, turquoise, and lots of black.
Somewhere in between passing birthdays, I became fascinated with twinkling straps, shoe ornaments, and insteps. I love looking down at my feet to see those dazzling little lights blinking up at me and these new cuties are no exception; can’t wait to step out and sparkle so come on summer! Until then…
keep your peepers open!®
