I don't know what the fashion is in other parts of the country, but the girls here have taken to wearing flip-flops to their semi-formal dances (Homecoming and Winter Weekend). I am lucky, for I have taught my daughter that the correct pair of shoes can make or break an entire outfit. (It also helps that I own 9 pairs of shoes, not counting my flip-flops or sandals.)

I was appalled this past winter to see the girls in their fancy dresses and FLIP-FLOPS.

I am one that hopes this trend ends soon.

And, I agree with rangermom, choose your battles wisely!
