It was only a matter of time before there was a "National Flip-Flop Day." See it for yourself, being touted by the state of Florida's travel planning site: Florida Travel

Remember when the championship Northwestern University women's lacrosse team wore them to the White House? Flip-Flops at White House

My friend C. wears flip flops every day to work. "I love 'em because they're easy on, easy off, and dress up to dress down," she says. She has plaid flip flops, a glitter pair and is looking for cherry red if anybody's seen them out there.

Flip-flops have gone upscale: Nordstrom's has them for $22 (see at right) to $45. Even some brides wear them. You can buy high-heeled flip flops, but then that defeats the comfort factor.

What are your fav flip flops? E-mail a photo of them to me at mpounds@sun-sentinel.com and I'll post it on this blog.-- Marcia "Bargain Hunter" Pounds
