Another cute thong sandal is this shoe from Michael Kors. It features snake embossed leather in four different colors – black, natural, yellow and pink.

I love the pink Guava/Flamingo snake version the most. But any of these sandals would make a great addition to your wardrobe. Each shoe features a flexible leather sole, a goldtone Michael Kors logo plate and a small buckle on the slingback strap.
You can get these sandals at Nordstrom.com for $108.95.
