I have a shoe question....wedding

11 years ago

We're going to our sons wedding in KY this weekend.. I'm wearing white pants, frilly black and white print top , and sandals. I always wear good support sneakers, so this will be a challenge, but if I can hang on to DH I can handle it, Question is, he asked me if I was wearing hose, and I said no, I hadn't thought about it. I get better grip in my shoes without slipping around in hose. So, should I , or not.? I don't know what's acceptable.

I wouldn't since you are wearing pants. It will be warm and no one will notice.
Best to be safe. If you have time get a nice pair of flip flops for the end of the day when you walk back to the car etc.

With pants I wouldn't. But paint your tootsies.

What do you have more of, shoes or roses?
Q

It is neck and neck roses running equal to shoes, since I rent. Despite having an intention to simplifiy my life and buy fewer things that I don't need, which includes shoes I don't wear and roses bought or grown from cuttings on impulse 88 of those in the past. I've acquired 3 pairs of shoes that I bought more than a year ago and have not worn yet, though two are very stylish, black leather with ankle straps, one with leather pleating on the toe area, ( I love ankle straps and kitten heels). In addition to c. 12 other various footware, flats, heels, -one strappy pair of be-jeweled thongs, to wear with sundresses. - Doc Martin black leather boots, for Halloween mostly as I've outgrown mosh pits. - a demure pair of low cream heels for church on Sundays, and Evensong. --blue plastic beach thongs -two pairs of Clarks sandals, in brown and navy. - two pairs of sneakers, white, and blue. -Mary Janes Roses, I went from having c. 200 to care for, to c. 14 last time I counted, the problem is of renting. Still looking for a house to buy, or rather property to plant a rose garden, with a house on it. Note the roses come first. Oh, to have what Melissa has.... it is hard not to desire such vast beauty for my own, 500 roses in Tuscany, and to share it with loved ones. Lux.

One sole shoes......Does anyone have them?
Q

Maryann, I purchased mine in a store. I agree, I have to see shoes and try them on. And to tell you the truth, I may not have purchased them from the site because they are much cuter when you see them. I'm telling you, they are adorable and so comfy. I think on the web site they may have where you can buy them. They are very cool! I have only had them a few weeks and everybody that has seen them, loves them. They are a bit pricey, but worth it.

Your kitchen hardwood floors: shoes off or shoes on? I want to know!
Q
Comments (54)
Hardwood throughout my entire first floor, including the kitchen and all entry areas. Residents don't wear shoes in the house. Human residents, nor furry ones. :) Visitors are not given any rules upon arrival. :) Most people see you walking around in bare feet, or socks, or slippers, and immediately move to take off their shoes. Depending upon who they are and why they are there, I often tell them don't bother. For instance, if it's the HVAC guy and he's going to work in the cellar, I couldn't care less if he keeps his shoes on. As someone noted upthread, the nice thing about hardwood is that it does clean up very easily. I prefer the residents keep shoes off the floor b/c it does keep the floors cleaner, but there is no way I would ever make a guest remove their shoes. As far as damage - most of the damage to my floor comes from the toenails of the 20 pound furry lunatics who share my home. Yes I keep them short - no lectures on appropriate dog nail procedures please! They are young and love to run and play - nails dig in on cornering no matter how short they are. :) However there has been some damage from people in shoes who had rocks stuck in the treads. Most of it from the early days when the house was under construction because sadly my GC was an inconsiderate moron regarding things like this. TL:DR. It's hardwood. It dents. I do what I can to keep the dents to a minimum but don't stay up at night about it either.

Sandals mean no stockings. Get a nice pedi and have a great time!

Who wears hose anymore! LOL!

It's a little too late, but Croc's makes some really comfy sandals now - and they aren't ugly like you would think of Croc's! They actually have some super cute styles!

I have the "Patricia" (without the back strap) - and those are super comfy. They have some arch support. They also come in a style with a back strap, if you are more comfy in that.

No hose with the sandles if you don't need them. I wear flats, as flat as I can get, if I can't wear my sneakers! For dress or casual.

Hose with sandals? Absolutely not. But yes, have your nails painted nice and pretty.

It's funny, when I read hose I just thought she meant knee high hose. I guess some wear pany hose with slacks for the added control top perhaps?

Definitely get a pedicure. Pedis look so much better than do-it-yourself.

I remember when Martha Stewart got publicly chastised for wearing hose with sandals. You don't want the fashion mavens taking you to task in People magazine, so forget the hose! ;-)

Don't be afraid to take your comfortable and safe shoes along and change at some point later in the festivities - once you've made your appearance no one is going to care if you choose to put something on your feet more typical of what you would usually wear. I've seen brides not accustomed to heels with sneakers under their gowns mid-way through the reception:)

You can't have your best time if your feet hurt and this is a day you should enjoy yourself - if it means not confining your feet to skimpy sandals for hours and hours and going home in pain, no one is going to mind you changing your footwear.

2 years ago my daughter wore flip-flops under her formal wedding gown -- cracked me up. And no pantyhose. Son is getting married in August in formal church wedding. I'll be in a mid-knee length dress, nice sandals and no pantyhose. You don't need to wear pantyhose with slacks and sandals. Enjoy your son's joy and don't worry about how properly you look. The wedding photos are about your beaming face, not what's on your feet.
