SHMECK is perfect. And it is possible to walk in them, not silently, but less SHMECKily. If I can hear you coming down the hall when I'm in my office with door closed, you need to practice at home until you can avoid thwapping your heal with the shoe at every step.
Hey, it's raining! What a wonderful surprise!
the former leasing office turned workshop burned down AGAIN
Wow. That's doesn't inspire confidence.
I have very thin strapped, kitten heeled white sandals. THey are slides and have the thing between the toes.
And I haven't been able to find a picture of me standing on Saturday day at the F2F, but anyone who saw me can attest that I did not do the white trash thin jersey gaucho thing, even though they were thin jersey.
Yeehaw! I'm freeeeee! Of the QA assignment at least.
I'm going into a major, major project that will need overtime and stuff. But at least it's working on an application that I know a lot about programming, and can work on neat code and solve problems and do work I actually find kind of fun....
IME, Washington DC is not a flip-flop city. It's not even a bare legs or toes city. When I was temping there (okay, 12 years ago, maybe it's modernized?) I was told that for the first day I should always wear a skirt, and then look to see if any women were wearing pants; if they did I could.
I also recently heard someone here (NC) dismissing a job interviewee who came to the interview in flip flops and with wet hair, although otherwise well dressed.
These kids today!
My 84 year old Mom is visiting a friend in NY in July. The friend told her not to wear shorts - Capris are OK but not regular shorts for NY. Is this true? Shorts mark her as tourist?
If you're 84 years old, you can wear whatever the hell you want in NY.
AUgh!
84 year old Moms in pink flip-flops and Capris.
Mea maxima culpa!
When will the punishment end?
The only thing with wearing shorts while doing touristy things, regardless of your age, is if you're going to be popping in and out of air-conditioned interiors. You can get really cold inside, and have to go outside to feel comfortable again. Capris would be a good alternative.
Yeah, who gives a shit? I doubt she's going to be actively avoiding looking like a tourist the rest of the time, you know? Edit: My point is, your mom should wear whatever she wants!
Crop pants. Racks and racks and racks of them. Does no one wear actual pants any more?
Last time I went shopping, all I could see were WORK SHORTS. WORK. SHORTS. GAH!!!
It is shocking how empty Wall Street is at 6:30, compared to 5:30.
