I love this and wish people would still get more dressed up to do random stuff.
If I had time and money I would invent dressy clothes that are practical, long-lasting and comfortable!
The problem was that I adopted the trend without thinking about my poor college student lifestyle (LOTS of bus-metro-walk and carrying heavy books). By the end of that day, the tights had runs, the heels were dirty and scuffed, and my feet were killing me. I looked and felt like crap.
Haha- it’s always the shoes, isn’t it? I walk a lot and it’s really driven my footwear choices over the years. There is little crossover between the truly comfortable (hello, plantar fasciitis) and fancy stylish.
Though back in the day I would wear heels and tights for my retail jobs. Definitely helped me sell more!
