As luck would have it, I found flip flops, that matched my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.allforcolor.com\/Prints_3\/Sorbet-Spots\"  title=\"Sorbet Spots\" target=\"_blank\">Sorbet Spots smart phone wallet<\/a>, for just $5. I couldn&#8217;t pass it up. LOL. <\/p>\n<p>The flip flops also match <a href=\"http:\/\/brubakers.us\/?p=10116\"  title=\"Small Duffel and Cross Body Bag\">the small duffel and cross body bag<\/a> that I got earlier to take with me to <a href=\"http:\/\/brubakers.us\/?p=10197\"  title=\"2013 Zumba Instructor Convention\">2013 Zumba Instructor Convention in Orlando<\/a>. I didn&#8217;t even get to use either of them so they&#8217;re still unused and in storage. <\/p>\n<p>Once I started packing, I realized that the duffel bag was too small because I had to pack a costume, etc. If I was just packing for three or four days of working out, that wouldn&#8217;t have been a problem. However, I was packing for workouts and parties. There were several people at the <a href=\"http:\/\/brubakers.us\/?p=10281\"  title=\"ZIN Soiree\">ZIN Soiree<\/a> with really elaborate costumes and props. I can&#8217;t imagine what their bags must have looked like.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/9521364191\/\"  title=\"New photo added to &quot;Camera Roll&quot; by Ching, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.staticflickr.com\/3679\/9521364191_74e05c304b_z.jpg\" class=\"pic\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" alt=\"New photo added to &quot;Camera Roll&quot;\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The cross body bag idea got nixed when I found out that we were getting these nice Zumba backpacks at convention because I wouldn&#8217;t need my cross body bag then. So the only piece of the whole Sorbet Spots collection that I&#8217;ve been using is the wallet and I&#8217;m not even going to be using it much longer. Since summer is technically over, it&#8217;s about to be retired.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps next summer I&#8217;ll get more use out of these really colorful bags. I doubt that I&#8217;ll be wearing all of them together simultaneously though because that would just be overkill; not to mention look ridiculous. LOL. As for the flip flops, I know that summer is over but I had to get them. They were only $5. Besides, Brian and I have been traveling a lot lately. I can bring them with me when I travel so I don&#8217;t have to walk barefoot on hotel carpets and they will bring me happiness and sunshine wherever I go. I just know it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I was at Beau Monde getting my waxing yesterday, I noticed that they had lots of products (mostly summer items) marked down to 40%, 50% and even 75%.
