The start of summer as a kid always meant a new pair of jellies (those uncomfortable plastic shoes) for me. I always remember being so excited for that start of summer. And they could get wet and washed and they were sparkly. I miss those days so when I found these they kind of reminded me of that. But kinda of grandma shoeish too, like Miami retired grandma in a kimono would were these shoes but they were squishy and plastic and shiny so I had to have them. Anyone else have a childhood memory from summer that makes them nostalgic??! . Modern jellies: follow me @liketoknow.it #liketkit http://liketk.it/2welV , they come in other fun colors too (including shiny, sparkly blue)!
