Opt4coolcars I will ask if it's chairs or hay bales. Her cousin had a very formal wedding with the hay bales.
I will skip any nylons. What an antique word!
Dressy sandals!
Wanna hear something funny. I wear pantyhose all the time. Not in the summer, but when the weather is cooler and my shoes are closed toe, I wear those or knee highs. I am also (barely) under the age of 40. I just can't put my bare foot in a closed toe shoe!

The rest of my foot is okay.

I overheard GrD and DIL talking about what DIL will wear. Lavender. GAAAA. I remembered then she wanted purple, lavender or gray. I found a jacket on Walmart.com in purple. I just hope the base background color is the same hue - blue or red or yellow. Probably blue.

The dress came. It is exactly as shown. My waist line is not that attractive so the jacket will work out nicely.

Yeah. They don't stay up. Even with the gel things.

I just hope the base background color is the same hue - blue or red or yellow. Probably blue. I think it is going to be very difficult to get a jacket to match the dress...but you could maybe get a cardigan with multi colors. I actually think the color of your dress in a non-issue. I think it is a good color to mix in with others in a group picture. I don't think you have to have purple, lavender or gray. I almost think that color is purple. The important thing is do you like the dress, and are you comfortable in it.

It is classic -- you can wear it for years -- and that cut looks great on most folks. A jacket is nice, or, in case it is a warm day, a "slimming" slip underneath and a pretty wrap.

Yeah. They don't stay up. Even with the gel things. They don't stay up on me either. I was wondering if it is because they are for shoe size 5-9, and I wear a 9. Same amount of fabric, but very different sizes feet. It would make sense that I am taxing the limits of those little things. I have three different types I use. Two are shoe inserts that can be taken out and washed like socks, the other are socks that just go over the ball of my foot, which is enough to make most of my shoes comfy.

Well, I wear a size 8 and they don't work for me. I don't think it's your shoe size.

I wear a 5 or less depending on the shoe and they don’t work for me, either.

I have some of the no show socks. I will probably wear sandals; and if it's cool out, maybe boots. I have been away from dress shoes for years. I don't want to spent much on them. I thought about getting some dance shoes in nude. I would have to order them. I'm not getting a good visual on footwear.

I have a pair of shoes I got from Payless that I spent less than $20 on. I get compliments on them all the time. They aren't flat though. Do they have to be flat?

Flat would be best. I haven't worn heels in years and years. I will check Payless when I'm at the mall again.
