My first job in Cali's dress code mandated hose. They eventually loosened it up, but I didn't take advantage of it.
I doubt I'll go without hose at this office--too cold. Don't care that it's California.
Not that I wear heels often.
Where's the praising and extolling of my virtues? Where's the love?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I don't feel right wearing a dress or skirt without tights or nylons. I will every once in a while if I am wearing tall boots, but not very often, because it just feels off.

One of the great advantages of being a librarian is that Danskos are appropriate in pretty much every situation.
ION, looking at some photos of men I knew in college on Facebook, so many of them have that fat neck thing going on. My husband kinda has it too. Is this an inevitable part of being a 40-year old man? mr. flea isn't fat, though he could stand to be more fit. But the neck bloat. What is that about?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I love no hose! But not with pumps. Just sandals. I wonder if sandals are OK. It seems like a pretty well-dressed office.

Jesse, I have several pairs of sneaker-y shoes that look perfectly respectable with skirts and dresses that are also comfortable enough for my 50 minute walk home. Like this: [link] Or this: [link]

I highly recommend Softwalk loafers for commuting shoes. Also the Reebok/Puma/whatnot lifestyle type shoes. The perfect ones for me were the Reebok Nautical Mile style (now discontinued), lower profile than sneakers, but super comfy.

I'm glad it's not just me. People in my office seem to think it's weird that I almost always wear hose.

I wear pants almost exclusively in the winter because tights/hose make me itch. Of course, one of the unofficial mottos where I work is "Every day is casual day."

I wear ballet flats and character shoes when I want to be a bit more dressy as my everyday work shoes. For the job that involved periodic extended walking they both worked pretty well, if you have enough support in the ballet flats.

Ooh, I like those Sketchers. I love that you people will do my shoe shopping for me.
