I don't know how to do links, but..they were Prada, I think. Perhaps Louboutin....I am ashamed to admit it because of the price. I am looking to see if I can find something similar in the $750 range...or wait for Friends and Family at Saks.

They were Gorgeous. But looking for artistic copies are terrific. My favorite is Aqua...right next to Joie...same shirt $200 less......

Bloomingdales......

As far as that goes, does a gentleman even utter those kinds of judgments in public?

I think that if he does, he doesn't get to criticize the manners of others.


I am male, but as I also think that I remember you're a lawyer, I'll offer a different sort of dual: We meet in court and then beers afterward.

I must admit that in principle I have to agree with you. This silly exchange got off track and out of control over what I was intending as a cautionary comment. I have observed perfectly nice girls being cut to ribbons over a minor mis-step in their appearance during rush and was trying to be helpful. My sister's comment was very much in keeping with what I was afraid might happen. It was a snide remark but I thought it captured and demonstrated what I had hoped to head off. The PNM seemed to be a very nice girl who has done her homework and was seeking advice. My good intention went horribly wrong as I think the response triggered a resentment at what was seen by some as intrusion into a 'closed shop'. No intrusion was intended but when I was ordered to get out of the thread my reaction was to reject orders given by one who lacked the authority to issue said orders.
Anyway, I hope this issue has come to an end and as to our dispute I propose an ADR solution: When you are next in London please be my guest at my Inn of Court (Inner Temple) for lunch and a brew or three or perhaps a bit of claret. Afterwards we could observe English trial procedure at the Royal Courts of Justice across the street. Similar and different at the same time. PM me if OK with you. I think this thread has been off-subject far too long and absent any more attacks I now withdraw. Cheers.

It would seem that my error was thinking that you understood the English language. Your analysis suggests that your fluency is in another language entirely. Frankly Scarlett...

I'm so glad that you've come to mansplain everything to me.

Cautionary comment: "please reconsider that look, as it isn't popular on the West Coast/not the most flattering on all body types/probably isn't suited for the activities of the recruitment round you're describing."

Impolite comment: "you look like a (insert derogatory description here) in that outfit/ that looks like something a _____ would wear."

Falstaff:

Bear in mind that this phrase deals with counterfeit appearances, but now has come to be used as a warning to keep one's mouth closed. To put my message in terms that my father taught me: Be quiet, because you're about to get yourself in Big Trouble. Usually followed by the warning about having the last word. And after that, Big Trouble.

ellebud, I'm loving the boots and I owe you an email, hang on, it's coming!

ellebud those boots sound beautiful. How do you feel about the booties? I love the look but have such a hard time finding ones that look as good on me. The ones I have need to be re-heeled. Ugh. Oh well - winter shoes, I guess I don't need to worry about them in August.

Oh, when I was a kid we lived, briefly in the Bay Area. At that time the "correct" terminology was SAN Francisco. Never, Frisco. NEVER...my mother used that term to a cousin...silence ensued.

I like booties with heels. With short skirts they can look amazing. And they are great with skinny jeans. I have seen some with peep toes which, unless you live in a warm climate makes no sense. (Did I mention my girls wear the same size shoe?). It's warm here most of the year, so they may be a pair or two.

But, as a woman (me) who doesn't have great or good legs...I wouldn't wear them. And, I firmly believe in dressing your age. I detest seeing women in my age group with a mini skirt, tights and booties with a facelift(s) and botox.

Peep toe anythings usually give me blisters, so I steer clear of them. I am turning into an old fart with big feet who wears comfortable shoes. Heh. No wonder my daughter who shares my shoe size would rather stick crochet hooks in her eyes before borrowing any of mine for any function other than walking up the drive to get the mail. Wait, she won't even do that, she has facebook, twitter and texting.

But I do appreciate the look of a fine shoe or boot.

I like peep-toe pumps. Peep-toe booties escape me, though, especially since I think the booties look best with tights.
