I know a lot of you are pulling out your Fall decor but I'm feeling glad that we've had a few days in a row that are warm enough that I can wear thongs/flipflops/jandals without it feeling like my toes are gonna freeze and fall off. I don't tend to follow trends much but I love that they never go out of style either! So my fill in the blank for today is "____never goes out of style". Enjoy the rest of your Friday/weekend!
Lol What you call flip-flops in the US, I call thongs & in NZ they call them jandals - in a recent interview, Ed Sheeran apparently mentioned said he wanted to move to New Zealand, and the NZ Prime Minister who is very social media savvy & has a great sense of humour among other admirable qualities, made a video message the other week & addressed him specifically & said there were some important questions before she could grant anyone permission to live in NZ & knowing what jandals were was one of them - there's some trivia for you!
oh my gosh! That’s so funny! I just assumed it was a typo and you meant “sandals”! Too funny about Ed Sheeran too! Ha ha!
Learn something new every day, lol! Flip Flops are my go to.... um, Thongs make me think of ladies underwear.
And, when I was growing up what you think of as thongs were not even a thing! I'm not even sure bikini underwear were around. So thongs to me are what flip flops are to you
I guess I really do live outside of high fashion... I just googled bikini underwear and read a whole history on the bikini swimsuit which led to bikini underwear! Although what they call bikini's back in the 40's were what I knew of as a 2 piece bathing suit growing up. Bikini underwear became fashionable in the 1960's because of low rise jeans and pants. Since I wasn't wearing low rise jeans in the 60's I didn't know about bikini underwear! (Just had a discussion elsewhere about when jeans/pants could be worn to school. 1972/1973 the dress code started allowing that but dresses/skirts were still worn quite a bit by girls).
