New Shoes

Do you ever have something that you just love to wear all of the time?
I have this pair of Kenneth Cole flip flops that I bought a little over a year ago. They are not just regular old flippies. They are cute, sparkly, brownish sandals and I LOVE THEM! It may borderline along an obsession. It's so bad that I try to wear things that match my shoes and not the other way around. It's sad.
So, here is what I am wondering: since I wear them all of the time they definitely look "worn" (maybe worn to death, but that's okay because they are my favorite); do other people look at my shoes and say, "Dang, those shoes are beat-up!" or do they say, "Oh, those are cute!"
You know, I think that they are still wearable, but what do other people (that don't have quite the obsession for these shoes that I do) think? Do I really care? Not really. I will just cut off the loose strings and keep on wearing them. ;-)
