Now I’m all about comfort when it comes to my footies.  I have not worn heels in years because of foot problems.  And I have to tell you that all the technology put into making shoes today means my feet don’t have to hurt.

I totally had these, except they had a cork heel.

And no support.

Funny though, the comfortable shoes I wore then, my kids are wearing now…

Wallabees and Docksiders.  Yes the preppy handbook must haves.

But still NO SUPPORT…..Can’t wear them for hours on end…’cause I need that when I’m sitting around the house tweeting and skyping…

I found KURU footwear.  LOVE… I have tried their Draft model and they are the most comfortable shoes I own.  And they are made for walking…a lot…in case you need to do that while you are tweeting and skyping….

These have pink in them…i know, i’m cute and comfortable!  If you want fabulous shoes for a conference or anything, maybe one with mice?  This would be a great choice~!!

(when they say these run small, listen to them.  I’m 8 1/2 to 9 in shoes and got a 9…could not have gone one extra long toenail smaller)

The Way We Wore: Leggings, Fabulous or Fiasco

I’m here to talk about something that is creeping back into society..without my permission.

It’s LEGGINGS.

Back in the 80′s we had our share of funky looks.  Half the time you didn’t notice the leggings for all the bling and torn clothing hanging all over the place.  Thank you Madonna…but seriously how many of you really pulled off that look?

Leggings are not for everyone and they have their place and it’s on cute and sassy girls and women.  Note I said WOMEN…..AHEM

*or does she just need a heavy wax? {shudders}*

Anywhooooooo:  It’s totally appropriate to wear leggings these days, but they must be worn appealingly and with a little guidance you can pull off the look.

If you want to, which I don’t, count yourselves lucky.

Here is the perfect example.  Long tunic, cute shoes (I’m totally drooling right now)…she can pull off the look.

These girls are hitting the scene and making a splash.  I’ll bet they are on their way to the club to dance with boys, what do you think?

A few things to remember and why you don’t want to go to FAR OUT…

And PLEASE throw them away when they get holes in them.  NO, it’s not good enough to put a little clear nail polish on them at this point.  Throw them away for the LOVE OF TIM GUNN!

This leggings thing is almost a bit too much for my brain to handle.

How about you?  Are you in or out when it comes to these 80′s throwbacks?
