You can find them pretty much anywhere that sells shoes. DSW should have them. If you go some thicker ones, it should help with the red shoes a little bit.

I'm wearing the shoes I posted here today. They're platform booties that are 4 or 5" tall. I haven't worn them in a long time because ice and snow. My feet are going to have to get used to them again.

I returned some Bombas, and a pair of Gekks, last summer. didn't love them. not sure if they have more options now, but the ones I had wouldn't have been low enough for this particular pair of shoes. I found a really low-cut set of four pair on Amazon for like $10, so I grabbed those. they don't look all that thick, though, so idk if I'll keep them or not. I'm hoping a thicker pair will help the slide as well, andi. I will check DSW when I go return the grey pair this weekend.
I already had gotten a handful of compliments on them from random women in the elevator by about 8am today, so they are definitely cute. just need to figure out how to make them work for me.

Do you think that the grey ones would work in a half size smaller? Maybe wear them around the house for a bit so you can still return them if they don't work out.

no, the length is fine. I just have narrower than average feet. wider brands like Steve Madden actually hurt to wear b/c I end up scrunching up my feet when I walk to try and keep them in place. these would end up doing the same thing. if I can't find thick enough or grippy no-show socks that work, I'll end up bringing the red pair to the consignment shop. I've worn them outside, so I can't return them now. hoping I can make it work, they are very cute.

I like to use the Dr Scholl insoles when my shoes are a little big. There are lots of different styles to choose from, some thicker than others.

When i got married, I bought something called foot petals. They stick inside your shoe and keep your feet from sliding down. I don't remember if I ever used them, but it's worth a try.

I picked up something at DSW when I returned the grey pair today. I didn't think they would work well, they were cushy and didn't look wide enough to cover the whole footbed. but, I was there and wanted to grab *something*. well, when I got home, my Amazon order had come in. I grabbed a 4pk of minimal upper, cushy sole, silicone sticky liners. I tried the flesh toned pair in the red heels, and I think they are going to work!! there's a little silicone flower on the ball of each foot, and then the whole sole is cushy. the only thing that could get irritating that I can see is the seam between the cushy sole and nylon upper, will just need to line that up correctly. added bonus - there won't be knee highs to blur my tattoo lines

So it’s been a long time since I’ve worried about having cute/sexy underwear, but now it seems to be back on my radar. where do you buy sexy underwear that won’t break the bank? And what cuts are good? I’m open to all suggestions, but I do not do thongs. I used to have a lacy black pair of tanga style undies from VS but they’ve long since gone out of style. I do like that boyshort shape though.

Daily phone conversations lasting a couple of hours, lots of common ground, we both have kids... and he’s hot (to me) and so yeah, things are going to happen very VERY soon!

I love this. definitely keep us posted on things 😁
I get cute stuff from Maidenform. the have lace trimmed tangas, boyshorts and bikinis in all sorts of fun colors and patterns. you can do really well on pricing at Kohls when they have their crazy sales, but it's not too pricey regularly.

For just undies Charlotte Ruse is super cheap. H&M has cute bras and matching stuff.

I’m taking notes on all of this. After my car is done, I’ll make a run to the mall. I freaking HATE the mall so I’m hoping to find something I like!

ETA: and very happy for you for your need for cute underwear!

I've been having a lot of anxiety and spending money like it's not going on a credit card, which... not ideal. But, with that said, I just got a ton of new dresses, hooray! For work: www.nordstromrack.com/shop/product/2543760/donna-morgan-crepe-sheath-midi-dress?color=HORNwww.nordstromrack.com/shop/product/2026312/love-ady-ruffle-hem-fit-flare-dress?color=HOTFUS (Not that color, and it's a sheath vs. ruffle hem, but they sold out of that one.) finally, no pic, but I bought a Max Mara sheath off eBay -second hand. I've always loved their pieces but out of my price range! It's very chic and simple and I lurve it! I've also been trying to build more of a casual, things I could wear to dinner with friends wardrobe. Because right now, I have very little of that.

Love the neckline on #1 I like #2, but I can't wear that to work. Wait, you didn't specify work clothes. What's the second one for?
Ooooh, the bell sleeve is super cute.
I LOVE the pant suit. I wish I were cool enough to wear that.

I LOVE the pant suit. I wish I were cool enough to wear that. First 3 all for work. I'm in PR, it's a bit more fashion forward than other areas of the company. Or, is allowed to be. Some people wear more formal office wear, some people lean into the casual side of things, I occasionally push the boundaries a little. The ruffle hem version is much shorter than the sheath version -'it goes properly to my knees, so the neckline is the only unusual part.

I really like your choices.
It's interesting that you find the jumpsuit out there - to me, it looks just normal, something you might wear in the summer to a more formal event or out to dinner. Of course, I remember way way back when jumpsuits were common.
