God. Damn. Hot!

I need your input. I’m going to a “meet the new members” party at the CC we joined. It isn’t super stuffy and it is not a formal event but I’m unsure what to wear. I’ll have to go shopping, so I hoped I could pick your brains before I go.

I like this dress. (It’s black) My issue is I hate wearing heels and do women no longer wear nylons? H.e.l.p. m.e.

The second picture is more me. I would wear this with black pants, but again I don’t know what shoes to get. (And I don’t have black pants yet..lol)

I have awful feet so it’s difficult for me to find shoes.

I have that dress in a different print. It’s cuter IRL than on Amazon IMO

I’d day wear what you are comfortable in though! The cardigan is great, and if it’s more you, then go for it.

No need to wear heels if they are uncomfortable and hard to find ones that fit. Find some cute flats and rock them. I think flats generally look better with pants vs dresses, but I have also seen some women pull it off, while I don’t think I can.

And nylons are not really worn anymore

apologies for being MIA The app still not working is frustrating!

I think you should wear the one you are most comfortable in. I do love the dress, but that is my style. Both do look great. I only wear flats, that’s all my feet can survive. I thought losing weight would help, but turns out I have actual feet problem. And yes, I do wear nylons, just did on Friday. My legs are pasty white, so it just helps me feel more comfortable. You will great in with choice.

I love the dress but agree you should wear whatever you are comfortable in.

For the record I often wear tights(nylons). Sometimes they finish an outfit off better than not wearing them. Sometimes they are required for warmth. There are so many different types - you can get ultrasheer, toeless, coloured etc. Wear what makes you comfortable

It’s Monday already. I’ll be in a cold conference room all day, so I added a sweater.

Can someone call Clinton Kelly or maybe the Queer Eye squad to take me shopping?

The Amazon dress is only $27, so I’m going to get that regardless, I have a very similar one that has short sleeves. Maybe I’ll go to Talbots this week and ask for help.

I can’t wrap my brain around wearing leather shoes or pumps with bare feet.

Amazon has a solution for everything!

@sillykitty Thank you, I’m ordering those! I HATE my messed up feet (crooked feet bones) and the older I get less tolerant of uncomfortable shoes. I used to be able to handle it but now the pain gets real and real fast. I saw a podiatrist, but I don’t want surgery, which was recommended.

It really limits what I can wear, and I feel so short in flats with a dress. I’ll be 59 at the end of month and I don’t want old lady shoes either lol.

ugh, I really need to go to some stores and try some stuff on.

I dug these out of my closet, are they still in style? I don’t remember when I bought them. I’m not sure if I’ve even worn them..

I should start a fashion intervention thread.

Laughing at this idea! Love it!

But so sorry to hear of your feet. Aching feet are no joke!!! I can relate hon.

And fwiw, I like em. But they look super uncomfy (heel height)

Yes, Mary Jane's would be cute with the black dress! I agree though, they look pretty high for a nonheel wearer.

For comfortable flats, that are still cute, check out Tieks, Rothy, Allbirds & Everlane.

Ok I have a new goal dress 💃

I need to lose a few lbs to wear it comfortably, guess I have to give up fish and chips 😂 (or get a TT 😉)

S.P.A.N.X.

Okay, I’m stepping out of my comfort zone and wearing a snug through the abdomen dress. And I know the tights and socks are a bit goofy, but I don’t want to look TOO grown up, after all!

LOVE that dress! ❤️
