Brighter than the sun

I love shopping online, I do. No parking issues. No long lines. No annoying sales assistants that seem to stalk you and as soon as you pick something up, they're there in a shot, "Can I help you with something?" Where the hell did you come from??

Anyway, shopping online has it's drawbacks. One of them being that old addage: don't judge a book by it's cover. So when I went onto the A&F website and ordered what I thought were muted deep green flipflops, that's what I expected to arrive. But nooooooo, that would be too easy. They arrived. But holy cow were they bright?! They shone, a brilliant light emitting from the box they came in.

I took them out and was almost blinded. What were these monstrous things? Swamp-thing feet? Was a leprechaun wondering around barefoot somewhere? I tried them on and decided they are only good to wear around the house.

Note to self: when shopping for footwear, go to the actual store.
