Wow...I'm gone for a weekend, and my thread turns into a sock discussion. How funny

For a second I actually thought I was on the "twentysomething" thread from Chit Chat.
Thanks, everybody, for your input, and especially "thank you" to my future ASA sisters for your tips. I didn't know that opened toed shoes were out, but the panty hoes/opened-toed issue makes that obvious! I hate seeing women showing off that "lovely" seam. It's especially "attractive" with old toe nail polish (which I will not have at ritual).
My sponsor has informed me about proper dress, but we didn't get specific about shoes. Only that they must be white.
I'll let you know what I find, and since I do have a little while yet, I might try buying online as long as they have a good return policy.
Thanks again!
