[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Sunday Evening : It's rare unless I'm doing farm chores in the evenings or riding the horse or running to see me not in heels. I just don't wear flats. My family is all very tall, I'm petite, and I wear heels. My casual shoes are about 2 3/4" and my dress shoes are 3 1/2" up to 6". I have a few pairs of Danskos I wear around the farm, but if I wear flats to work it's because I'm injured or are too sick to care. I don't think I own any shoes other than Dansko Clogs and Tennies that are flat or shorter than 2 1/2" inches. LOL

I live in flats. If they weren't an option, I'd probably only wear tennis shoes. My ankles can't handle heels for long periods of time.

Heels and I are mortal enemies. My BFF made me wear stillettos for her wedding (I was short on cash so she ended up paying for them ) I had to practice because I was afraid I'd fall walking down the carpeted aisle.

Poke, I think that was the scene I saw as well.

Jess, thanks! I got them from Payless last year, I think.

StefffiC

I'm not a stilleto fan, only two or three pairs of my heels are stilletos. I'm more of a chunky heel girl. I'll do a thicker spike heel, but I really like the square heels that are more stable. And, I hate wedges.

I've probably collected about 70 pairs of shoes since I cleaned house 3 years ago.

pokepoke27

Yeah, I'd never require any of my friends/family to wear something they're uncomfortable with. 

JessAndTrav

I never saw I Am Legend, so I have no idea what y'all are talking about.

I love heels and all of that, but I can't wear them.

Apparently, I'm 60 years old.

Yep.

I admit that I asked my BMs to wear red shoes (don't know why...looking back that was stupid) but they got to choose the shoe.

StefffiC

My MOH is the only attendant in my wedding and she's picking the dress and the shoes - as long as it is one of the two colors and formal enough, I'm happy with it. I know she'll pick something suitable.

SpartanCat

I wasn't happy about it at the time. But it was the only thing she really asked of us. I guess my biggest problem with it is that they're three inch high sparkly prom-y looking things that I'll never wear again.

angelstar975

I'm asking my girls to wear silver heels for the ceremony and pictures, I think. They don't have to be stilettos and I'm fine if they choose a shorter heel, but I just don't like the look of some girls in flats and others in heels. My best friend is the only one who doesn't really wear heels, but since I said she can change her shoes right after pics, she's okay with it.

<div>I didn't have any requirements as far as shoes went. I trusted them to choose appropriate shoes. And I told them the color of the dress (light blue) and let them choose their own. My mom thought it would end up looking terrible - but I think it turned out okay. </div>

SpartanCat

I found a picture! Very similar. Maybe I can sell them to a highschooler going to prom? lol

JessAndTrav

Spartan, if you really don't want them, you could contact your local high school and see if they have a collection of prom attire for students that can't afford dresses/shoes, etc.

The HS I work at had this program until this year, and I was really sad to see it go. A lot of our students really benefited from it.

In other news, I had my Double Stuf Oreos and milk, but I'm wanting another glass of milk now, but I'm out.

WOE IS ME.

SpartanCat

Oooh that's a good point, I didn't even think of that. Thanks!

pokepoke27

Well that's what you get for having the milk and oreos now Jess.

Angel - there is a world of difference between asking someone to wear a small heel and asking someone to wear stilettos. Most people that don't wear heels can find a nice low heel or even a wedge that they are comfortable with.

Spartan - those aren't actually that bad. I would wear them if I could wear strappy heels. 

SpartanCat

Oh yeah? I'm not very good at accessorizing and don't get dressed up often. Actually, I have a pair of black shoes that I love and wear to everything lol.

SpartanCat

Okay guys, I think I'm going to head for bed. It was wonderful chatting with everyone!
G'night!

StefffiC

It's starting to storm here - just put the horse in and he slimed the entire side of my PJs. I had to change shirts. Hail, frequent lightening, and lots of rain forecasted with this storm.

StefffiC

G'night Spartan!

The slime is nothing unusual for him, I just wasn't paying attention to where his head and my arm were. I'm peeved that I had to change out of my favorite PJ top into a different top.

This storm only has 40mph winds and pea size hail. But, the thunder in the mountains. I still can't get used to the sound up here, it echos and echos back and sounds like nothing I've ever heard.

Found the flashlight, so I should be set if the power goes out.
