What to wear to a summer party: black tie and flip flops

Q. I'm going to a 40th birthday party at night (6:00-10:00). The invitation says 'black tie, flip flop' affair -- at a house in Florida on the bayou. What to wear?

A. This party dress code is a new one for me, but such a fun one to tackle! Black tie and flip flops sounds like the summer answer to "creative black tie" or "denim and diamonds". My suggestion? Throw on a pretty, summery cocktail dress with, yes, flip flops! Don't be afraid to go for the glitz with sequins. Guys can have a lot of fun with this dress code too: a tuxedo jacket, t-shirt, and bow tie with jeans and flip flops.

Here are a few dress/flip flop combinations for you:
