Flip-Flops at Work

I am a flip-flop addict. Not long ago, the only shoes in my closet were sneakers and sandals. At the time, I did live in a super-casual California beach town, but everyone should have a pair of dress shoes they can put on in a pinch, right?

These days, you’ll find flip-flop-clad feet everywhere, from the beach to the boardroom. But not every situation is ideal for sandals. Case in point: A couple of years ago, a member of Northwestern University’s women’s lacrosse team wore flips to the White House. So not appropriate.
