Plink Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Wait, who says that refusing to wear nylons means that people go without socks? No-show socks are perfect with pumps and half socks work great too. There are even special socks for slingbacks or for peep-toe and open toe shoes.

I wish those types of things were readily available in my size. :) Even with them, there is plenty of skin touching the actual shoe, right?

8circles Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I think the birks you bought are fine. If you like tights/trouser socks then go for it but I wouldn't unless we were talking REAL winter ;). Black pants (not the s-word, please) or black skirt, same to me. I'd pair it with something dressier than the sweater you linked but I could see that working, too, only you know what casual means in your area. I'd probably choose something like a wrap-top or something with some sheen. Definitely no tucking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldberry Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I think black slacks and a colored sweater are fine, if you dress it up with a bit of jewelry. Sorry, no on the shoes though. Not appropriate for a dressy event in my opinion. Sorry! ETA, just caught that you already bought the shoes.....um, they'll be fine! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellie Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Sorry, I think it dates one to wear some type of hosiery. I wear closed toe shoes with nothing on my skin all the time. In fact, I have on the emerald colored shoes of the version I linked above on right now with no knee high, trouser sock, etc. I think that would look pretty lame with my jeans and sweater unless I had on "mom jeans" and a cat sweatshirt or something. :lol: Then I'm glad to be dated. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz CA Posted January 7, 2014 Author Share Posted January 7, 2014 In light of the current temps and windchill factors in many states, I can see how misleading the title of this thread is...Can you tell I lived in CA for 27 years? We worry when we cannot wear sandals and T-Shirts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serenade Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Would you wear them to a wedding? There is a place for not-attractive shoes in this world. But for a wedding, I think Liz can do better. And I apologize for calling the shoes ugly. I am sure they are beautiful on the inside. Yes, I would. I have an elegant looking skirt with blacks and tans, and those shoes would look fine with it. Of course, I would wear them with hose of some sort. :001_smile: Perhaps I should qualify that I have RA, and I haven't worn heels in years and probably never will again.
