Faith ,'Get It Done'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Hell, I've been known to trip myself by getting the heels of my fleuvogs caught in the cuff of my pants....
Pointy-toe shoes + lace trim on skirt hems = potential gothy pratfalls. It's worse if, instead of pointy-toe shoes, you are wearing pointy-toe boots with lots of buckles. Then you can catch your toes OR the buckles in the lace.
NO.
It is never time.
If I had a job that required more time on my feet, I'd have to lose the heels. But I've got another pair of fluevogs picked out for that case.

I'd imagine. Did I mention I've put my heel through the hem of 3 skirts? Including two that were mid calf? Had I your wardrobe, I'd have to ...well, I probably wouldn't still be alive, victim of some grotesque velvet, lace and shoe disaster.
fluevogs
Seriously, someone needs to have a fluevog party, akin to an aerosole party.
Aerosole update: the new ones were fine for a day on my feet. In spite of the 2+ inch heel.
I have just solved my dilemma for how to write curriculum. I have a plan. And the plan, while not good or interesting, is easy to plan for. Esp. since I don't have to teach it!
Ah, that brings up a question I've been meaning to ask. My sister has a new job where she is on her feet all the time, but does need to look fairly professional. Any recommendations for shoes that will keep her upright but still have at least some heel and look nice - and for a reasonable price?
aerosoles, Brenda. penny for penny and inch for inch, they look great and are feet friendly.
Aerosoles, brenda, seriously. They are fab.

But isn't this where the hoops come in? Doing Victorian dress-up, I found hoops a blessing in that, unless I was running or doing something flappy and ridiculous, the hoops kept the lacy ruffled ribboned hems a safe distance from my feet. I can't even count the number of times I'd have gone ass over teakettle were it not for the safe distance imposed by the hoops.
You know, ita, I was going to let it go, in deference to sara's delicate sensibilities.
