Q: Where did I get these super awesome flip flops?
A: At Savers.
Q: How much did they cost?
A: $2
Q: Did I wash them before I wore them?
A: You better believe it—I even washed them before I tried them on. (Elizabeth brought her wet wipes with her which come in REALLY handy when your out thrifting. Really handy.)
Q: Did I only wash them with the wet wipes?
A: Heck no. They got there own special 30 minute play date in the washing machine as soon as I got home.
Q: Did I really buy some old flip flops at a thrift store instead of buying some brand new ones at the Old Navy?
A: Totally!!! Did you notice the completely awesome rainbow soles on those things? I did. And now they are mine.
Q: Couldn’t I find another similar pair somewhere else?
A: Maybe…but now I don’t have to because as I said before, now they are mine!
Q: Did I score any more goodness on the latest trip to Savers?
A: Yes, yes and yes. I bought three pairs of jeans, some curtains, three vintage sheets, a bunch of vintage pillow cases, and a pile of other stuff that is hanging out in the laundry room waiting for their turn in the washing machine.
Q: Can I think of anything else to write about these flip-flops?
A: No.

Wow, these totally bring back memories from the seventies when this style was so popular! Certainly, they’re not that vintage?! Awesome find!
“Q: Did I really buy some old flip flops at a thrift store instead of buying some brand new ones at the Old Navy?”
Heck yes you did, those things are sweet! (And they are WAY better quality than anything you could find at old navy! Awesome score!)

how about Q: DO YOU WANT TO GIVE THEM TO ME????
Oh, wow, those are my childhood flip flops! A pang of nostalgia…..
I love Saver’s! We only had Goodwill when we lived in Ohio. Now I shop almost exclusively at Saver’s. When I’m looking for something, I always start there first.
I wonder, when you say vintage sheets, how do you know the age? Do you just go by the pattern and know what decade it may be from? I peruse our linen aisle quite frequently at Value Village (thrift) but usually walk away, unsure (plus, I am only looking for the 99cent tags because I am cheap).
