Lady Grunge Vintique has a Vintage Gauze White Mexican Tent Dress for $45. Ooh, this looks fresh, pretty, and comfy – just what I’m looking for in a Summer dress. It doesn’t list a size or year, so if you want the specifics, you can contact the seller. Lovely dress, though, and it says that is in “excellent” condition.

I know that people usually equate shoulder pads and neon colors with  ’80s fashion,  but this Floral Mini reminds me of the sweeter side of the clothing of the era. It’s a size Medium and in excellent condition. It features ruffles, a flared skirt, button-up front, and a belt tie. It’s listed in the Midnight Flight shop for $32. 

My girlfriends and I used to call these vintage Leather Sandals, “Regulars.”  As in, My Regular Sandals. They would start out all stiff and you’d get them wet to soften the leather. Over time they would grow more and more comfortable. I sure wish I wore a size 7, because then I’d snatch up this pair. I just showed them to my teenage daughter and she loved them.  If you’ve got $20, then this pair from Cocomio could be yours.

A good pair of sandals to last you all summer isn’t an easy request.

These sandals from Begoodesigns are great. They’re handmade from recycled leather and the designs they have come up with are gorgeous.

This pair reminds me of scales somehow, i can only imagine that the leather is soft and that these sandals are comfy enough to wear every day until Labor Day.

$74

Melissa Sandals kind of remind me of jellies. They’re made of recycled plastic and you can recycle them after they’ve done good for you.

This t-strap sandal is a good take on all the sandals this summer, and I really like the gold color.

I’m not sure how comfortable an all-plastic sandal would be, however. I don’t recall jellies being all that comfy, but the plastic Melissa uses is different, so it may be perfect.

Alternative Outfitters suggests pairing it with a draped white dress. But these puppies can be paired with anything. Romantic, urban, you name it.

They are available in black or brown and can be yours for $47.95.

Luckily, Recycle Your Jeans has recognized this problem and decided to do something about it. This UK-only service (sorry Yanks and Canucks and everyone else on the wrong side of the pond!) takes your old jeans and turns them into cute summer sandals.

These sandals aren’t shoddy either. Recycle Your Jean’s parent company, Softwalker Limited, is a master of all things feet. They guarantee that your new jeans-turned-sandal will provide you with “ultra-comfortable soft, springy shoes which are approved by podiatrists.”

To get your information package from them, just click here. Right now, they only make women’s shoes, and they can only make up to a size eight (which leaves me out of the loop!), but they are hoping to change that soon!
